This is a flame. If you think it's directed solely at Hal Meeks, guess
again.

If you don't know what you're talking about, why do you feel compelled to
burn net bandwidth?

The PostScript interpreter has been in the stores for a long time. See
previous comment.

You should have hung in there.

So am I. Few have anything to do with using or programming the Atari ST.
Even fewer provide real information on any topic. Instead of
comp.sys.atari.st, it should be noise.atari-bashing.instant-experts.

I don't see this noise from the many folks who have made this newsgroup
worth reading over the last few years. I see it mostly from November
locusts who have just figured out how to post news but apparently have
not learned to consider first whether their posting makes a material
contribution or raises a question worth answering.

apratt and kbad and many others @atari.UUCP have devoted many hours to
reading this newsgroup and answering questions. I hope this drivel-storm
passes soon, before they conclude that it's not worth the effort.
