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. -- From the ministry of silly talks: Chuq Von Rospach {allegra,cbosgd,decwrl,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA Do not wait until tomorrow to tell someone you care.
