Senex and Jedi speak words of wisdom.
People condemning public discussions of commercial matters should never forget that we've been kept in the dark for years by the successive Amiga managers. I too would prefer that the executives out there settled their differences in a more constructive way; but that's sadly not the case, especially from the current Amiga owners which have been extremely conservative for more than two years.
Agreed, Mr Buck's public interventions sometimes appear like if they were spawn from the mouth of a Vorlon; but as cryptic as they are, I'm simply grateful to him to keep us informed -- something Mr Hermans (Almighty ANN's King of Trolls) has failed to achieve. I certainly don't see any kind of professionalism in his neverending no-no attitude -- but then again, what would you expect from a lawyer?
At least I do keep confidence in the rest of his staff, which I can see really hard at work. AmigaOS 4 development is too advanced to not become reality in a foreseeable future. And since last year, MorphOS has brought new prospects to my Amiga Classic which I would have never found possible.
We're different from our great ape cousins in that we don't necessarily have to 'choose the right side or die' in case of a stupid and tribal conflict (though some of us have already proved me wrong here). If you still have the urge to only swear by The Name, go have a look at the Atari Community and learn a lesson or two...
