OK, I said at the bottom of my mail if people think this is just stupid just say. Some of you did, good thats why I put it.
I may be naive about the SAM at the moment as Ive had quite a few years break but to suggest that I am totally naive generally is offensive and the kind of pointless generalisation that one sees from 15 year old bigots in the playground learning how to be grown up discriminators against vast sections of humanity. Not something I expected from this mailing list. That aside, if you think my ideas are stupid, please say so but also say why - I would rather read debates than condescending flame-mail. I have seen worse on Amiga newsgroups and, frankly, they often put more reasons in than some I have seen here. Please list all ideas that I have that are truly naive so far so I know what we are refferring to. Lets have a bit of a mature debate about it rather than wasting bandwidth starting a flame war with someone some of you clearly view as an outsider. Its my choice to be on this mailing list, it will also be my choice to leave. I dont want to see anyone gagged but I reserve the right to "piss off elsewhere" if I start feeling uncomfortable with some of the statements made on here. Amusingly it seems to have gone into a bit of a mini flame war about SimCoupe which I happen to like. I have something quite fun running on the SAM, not bad for a "naive" outsider. Also from what I gather it puts me into a rather small percentage of SAM users.... Maybe I should have put "rational debate welcome, all else please direct to /tmp/ishouldreadpostsbeforeisubmitthemtomakesureidontlookstupid" Having inflamed this nicely I suspect Im going to take a break from this for a bit. Dave.
