Ah.. ok, I see I inadvertantly omitted a single word from that paragraph..
 
Let's see if you get the thought this way..
People who  *only* own a computer in a
thriving, vital market have better things to do with their computers than
to engage in flamewars.. 


Yes, I own PC compatible computers, but I also own an Atari ST,
which is part of a dying, sickly market, and it appears I'm
engaged in several flamewars with people who seem to think that
spreading misinformation about other brands of computers is
somehow going to make everything in the Atari market suddenly
turn around and become respectable again.
 
It's akin to someone saying "I own a Yugo, and while they're
not made any more, and there are no dealers left to buy them or
parts and service for them, Pintos burst into flame, and Corvairs
flip over, so everything but Yugos sucks.."
