Well thanks, I can read already. Thanks for the insult too!

Are you serious? Do you actually flame in comp.sys.atari.st "just to
have something to fill the void"??? Have you ever thought about the 
fact that a lot of people that are reading this group have to pay 
money for that?

: Read a few PC or Mac newsgroups to see how HAPPY computer owners discuss
: everything from games to desktop publishing, to programming, to graphics,
: and all with very little reference to "Real Soon Now", or "Someday when
: XXXX is released"...

I've seen plenty of these messages in comp.sys.atari.st too, but in the
last couple of weeks I've almost seen more messages from you alone
complaining about Atari Corp., don't you ever get bored?

: Wouldn't it be great if the Atari newsgroups had more games to talk about
: than you could take time to read..?  Enough that we'd have to create a
: new newsgroup just to handle them..?    Or if there were enough people
: programming the Atari on a professional or semi-professional level that
: we needed several new newsgroups just to handle the traffic..?

Sure. But that doesn't mean that we have to "fill the void" that the lack
of such things for the ST created with useless flame-wars!

: Like I said.. we don't need a new newsgroup to handle all the Atari flames..
: what we need is for Atari Corp to DO SOMETHING...
