Not true at all. There were a few mistakes made while the moderators got used to the newsbot postings, but when the newsbot ran, we credited news to the source. If we got news from a source that could better be traced to the original, we credited the original instead.

No. We didn't fix anything. Amiga.org's servers were physically banned from the Amigaworld.net RSS feed. I think it's truly moronic that certain people feel the need to "privatize" Amiga news. Are you trying to support the Amiga, or not?
As a matter of FACT, the only people who seem to be interested in PROMOTING THE AMIGA rather than their own agenda is Amiga.org, and (humorously enough) the MorphOS people who haven't {bleep}ed, whined, complained, banned, and threatened when their news is disseminated through the newsbot.
I would say point blank at this point that certain members of your little clique are far more interested in fluffing their own egos and site than actually supporting the Amiga. If you want to argue, go ahead, but the least you could do is to try and prove me wrong. You can't really because you simply banned the Amiga.org newsbot (and it would appear the bot used by Amigann.com as well), and that's all that needs to be said. Amigaworld.net is once again proving without a shadow of doubt that it's more concerned with "competing" and securing their own little corner, than supporting the Amiga.
.... and you all wonder why "the Amiga is dead".

... and oh, yeah, about the little "jabs". Mike came to me a few months ago and asked for a truce to which I wholly agree. A truce in which we would have worked together rather than against one another, and that was something I truly, truly believed was in the best interest of the Amiga. -- a truce, by the way that I have upheld until this point, saying nothing negative about anyone or anything. -- Only thing was, less than a month later, Mike was back to his old tricks of promoting AW.net by trashing Amiga.org, then completely denied any such agreement had ever been reached, so we can see how all that works out.
In the end folks, I'm here for the Amiga. Not for competing and other "mine is bigger" crap. I don't view Amigaworld.net with contempt (despite my rant above). As a matter of fact, I rarely view Amigaworld.net at all. If you want to compete, you should pick a target who actually gives a {bleep}. I don't.
