Well, I've spent a while sloshing through 200+ posts to comp.sys.atari.st
over the weekend.  Rather than reply to each and every posting with which
I have a minor disagreement, I thought I'd just write one note.  You
needn't respond unless you really feel the urge.

To Bob R. - I find your announcement of a $15 OS/2 CD-ROM interesting.
Unfortunately, I do not have a CD-ROM drive connected to my Mega ST, so
I was wondering if you could try using it on YOUR CD-ROM under PC Ditto
and let me know how it works out.  Heck, I might even save up some money
for a new CD-ROM if your report is glowing.   It's helpful hints like
these that make your postings to this newsgroup such interesting reading.

To Dave B. - Chill out.  You're becoming positively rabid in your posts
to well-meaning Atari ST users.  I did find your posting on ST Picture
Formats a refreshing change from the usual "you suck eggs" style that has
become a favorite of yours.  Remember, all the good things you've done for
Atari ST users won't mean a thing when your gone; you'll be remembered as
"That guy who hated anyone who liked the Atari ST".

As for those psychopaths out there who think that a few deaths are in
order for the Tramiel family (you know who you are), get a life.  When
you get so obsessed by inanimate electronics products that you'd even
jokingly wish doom and disaster on the people who own the company that
produces those products, you need to reassess your value system.  Or,
perhaps, you need to engage in some consensual sexual activities.  Maybe
both.

For the rest of you out there -- do you read magazines?  Newspapers?  Listen
to the radio?  Belong to an ST-oriented user group?  Are you interested in
increasing the amount of useful information which passes through this
newsgroup?  Consider the self-appointed job of Atari factfinder (not a
registered trademark, yet).  When you see new software announced, let us
know about it here.  When you hear something of interest (and I *don't*
mean stock quotes) about the ST, write about it.  If you've discovered the
perfect program to do X, write about it.  One of the hardest jobs I've had
in our user group was that of newsletter editor.  Too many people sit back
an wait for the other person to write about "How I accomplished ..."  You
can make this a more useful place, and you don't have to be too technical
(save technical stuff for postings in comp.sys.atari.st.tech).

You can regain a measure of control of this newsgroup, or you can let it
become a source of personal pleasure for folks like Chris Mauritz, who don't
even OWN an ST anymore; they just leave messages for the pure joy in watching
you squirm.
