    Ok, you 68k'ers have got my goat, and I've grown tired of getting
  mail which reads just like a Motorola ad.  I've been told some of the
  strangest stuff, and when I got mail from someone at Motorola saying
  that the 32032 shouldn't be called a real 32 bitter because it doesn't
  have a 32 bit address path, I said "Enough!" .  I had to put up with
  magazine articles a so by Motorolers that the 68000 should be considered
  a 32 bitter.

    Some of the mail has been crude, implying that I don't know anything
  about the subject, and that those who don't love Motorola and its
  offspring are also lacking intelligence in this area.

    I called for flames, but not for mail that says "be quiet, listen to
  me, I will tell you what is right."  I'm sorry, but I expected a good
  discussion about the pro's and con's of the 32032 compared with the
  68020 and 80386, not " the 68020 is the word of God " stuff.  The people
  over in net.micro.68k haven't included us in their comparisons, so I just
  though that maybe we could.  I didn't know that .16k was created so that
  68k'ers could make fun of NSC.

    Send me no more mail about this, for I see no reason why I have to
  read mail that insults rather than informs.  Unless you have a question
  about the DSI-32 board, please leave me alone.  I will try to answer
  questions I received before the week is up, and I will post the Dhrystone
  results when I get them. But I have had enough, and I'm going to stay
  quiet.

                                              Expecting better,
                                               John Krist
