Hans-Joerg and Thomas Frieden have decided to unsubscribe from all amiga-related public mailing lists, newsgroups and web forums, and they have deleted all their Amiga bookmarks.


The complete mail sent to the AmigaOne list:


Hi!

I've already tried to send this mail, but it bounced, so I am reposting this.

Recent events have given me the impression that it has become impossible in the Amiga community to speak up in self-defence without
someone taking offence in it. Thomas and me have therefore decided (in in fact already did so) to unsubscribe from all amiga-related public
mailing lists, newsgroups and web forums, and we have deleted all our Amiga bookmarks.

Work on our projects will not be affected by this. OS 4 will still be developed in the same way it used to be. We're just pulling out of the
public.

I'm sorry we have to take such drastic measures, but it simply doesn't work otherwise anymore. You can still contact us personally, we're open for discussion, but no longer in public. Fact is that everything we say will end up on some web page or forum, being dissected to death and commented with all sort of nice wording, so the best solution is obviously to say nothing at all.

Thanks for reading this.

Best regards,
--

Really sad that it has come this far. I am 100% behind there decision. Well, all those people with negative comments/words will have to respond once OS4 is ready. Because then it is time to take back those words they said. They really piss me of. Sorry for the bad language but I just want to express my feelings.

Nobody messes with the heroes of OS4!!!!

I don't see anything wrong with this (not communicating directly with the entire Amiga community). Why should they? It simply doesn't work in practic to adress every little $#@!ty doomsday comment, generating ten more. It's a mistake being corrected.
*Zap! Zap!* Ha! Take that! *Kabooom!* Hey, that\'s not fair!

You have a point there JetRacer. But also it shows they really care about it. And that is something that I admire. Care for what they do.

Do I really need to say who cares?

Perhaps Bill McEwen hunted them down for their "75% confidence" statement :)

Or someone had spam their mailbox :(

Would it be such a bad idea to have anonymous posting turned off or user moderation?

I also fully agree with Hans-Joerg and Thomas Frieden's decision.

Shame that the people against the decision are too scared to give their name.

If you don't want people to know who you are, don't post anything.

When the cookie problem is fixed, and people finally understand how to validate their accounts rather than telling me they can't log in, I'll get rid of anonymous posting.

I advised them to do this back in May 2001 pointing out this very problem. Im sure I was not alone in this.

Alas, it's hard not to hang on every word of even the tiniest hit towards the eventual release of OS4. But then again, it's hard to concentrate on your work when you're constantly being bugged about it.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

I think they did absolutely the right thing. It can be a hellish thing to try and develop a product when you have a bunch of back-biters going for the jugular all of the time.
