I got good and bad mail about it. Let me rephrase it: MCIBTYC (My Computer Is Better Than Your Computer) and "Is Piracy OK?" are two truly important topics of discussion and are very worthy of as much net.bandwidth as possible. The problem is that as long as those topics are held within newsgroups such as comp.sys.amiga, comp.sys.mac, etc they can't possibly get the full attention that they deserve. Maybe the solution is to create a newsgroup (or multiple newsgroups, since there are more than one topic) specifically for those topics? Maybe someone can come up with some other way to deal with this? Also, to anyone that is against such an idea, consider that it would mean less clutter in your favorite technical newsgroup. What do others think? -Tom -- Tom Limoncelli -- tlimonce@drunivac.Bitnet -- limonce@pilot.njin.net Drew University -- Box 1060, Madison, NJ -- 201-408-5389 Standard Disclaimer: I am not the mouth-piece of Drew University Yow!
