Oh brother!!! What else will you 'get serverly annoyed at'?  Look buddy
CBM paid for their machine.  They pay for the phone line that connects it
to the net.  Andy (and John) are welcome to voice their opinion.  Did it
ever occur to you that in *THIS* case Andy was simply expressing his 
opinion. Andy.. always make it clear that it's YOUR opinion not CBM's.

I personally believe Andy is right and welcome ANYONES opinion on ANY
subject that is pertinent to the net or the new groups on the net.  Atari
, C-A, MIPS, and 1000's of other employee's of companies have voiced their
'opinions' right here on the net.  You figure the guy that posted the
original note did so from his personal U**X machine?  Maybe, but odds are
against it.  

John, went a bit overboard in his flame (probably a reaction from being
nicer in his personal life 8-> ).  But yours!  Well ... I guess you've
never used the net to voice your opinion from a 'for-profit' company or
a for-profit institutional machine.  Gee a *REAL* saint! 8^)
