Rather than attempt to restate what I just stated in net.news, please take
an indirect pointer to my comments about Stargate over there. The above is
a great example of the mindless flaming I was talking about.

It is also a great reason for us to quit bickering and get the damned mac
sources topic created. I don't give a damn whether it is mod.sources.mac or
net.sources.mac, although if we can ever agree on moderation I'll moderate
the damn thing. I'm trying to find time to set up an archive for usenet so
that continuing repostings won't be neccessary, but if people are going to
randomly bitch at attempts at constructive comments, I'm not sure I'll
bother. I've also talked to someone at Apple about coordinating getting the
software they post to Compuserve also onto usenet, and acting as an archive
for that stuff, too. Why, at this moment in time, I don't really know. 

Usenet, in case you hadn't noticed, survives only on the continued
cooperation of the component parts. Yelling at each other isn't
cooperation. It also doesn't accomplish anything. Can we try to lower the
tones of our voices long enough to talk about the things that need to be
talked about and get something done once in a while?

the fascist pig.
