Week 5 of the Q&A with Fleecy is now available.

@SlimJim

Weird. And I was just saying on another site that he answered that potential flame-bomb that is question 1 absolutely beautifully, and that it would take a very thin hide indeed to find any offence in his reply. Goes to show what a difference in attitude makes to interpretation of the same text.

Spot on, its all about your attitude towards amiga inc. If you have a chip on your shoulder about them then your will go out of your way to bitch about the smallest things and try to put a bad spin on it. I havent even read the questions yet, and im not a big fan of a-inc (i like hyperion thou) but im pretty sure that the whining is probably about something quite trivial as usual. Makes for a good read, and it reflects badly on the people doing it more than it does on a-inc ( i dont think they realise this) so it doesnt really bother me, its more like a bad tv sitcom these days.

hey, going off your handle, perhaps you belong over at Amiga Monkey ;-)

But why do people continually write the same bitchy comments over and over again?

I find it ironic that they harp on the lack of progress, but the level of arguments they use to sling mud on a-inc/hyperion/eyetech have evolved even less! regurgitating the same old argument isnt the right answer to hearing the same old news.

People, you simply sound stupid now, so keep it up, its rather entertaining, and when os4 is released your either going to sound confidently smart, or more likely, like utterly freaking morons. Unfortunately that view will probably be stuck on the systems you support as well...

I wouldnt mind seeing a Q&A with hyperion. Would be of more benifit to me i reckon as id like to know more technical details about os4. I do enjoy hearing some news from fleecy thou. btw, when i read this Q&A i left with more info than i started with. Plain and simple. So of the people saying that there no answers in there, perhaps you need to read a little closer, or pull the stick out of your ass' before reading it next time...

What the! On the home page the is a news article about a web site that has an icon that sort of looks like a boing ball, and you say this isnt news worthy?

Any excuse you use to say a Q&A with someone high up from amiga-inc is not news worthy is just that, an excuse! perhaps it really is just because its on amigaworld.net. Am i questioning your motives? hell yes i am...

So, try and explain to me exactly where you draw the line on what a news item is. I dont think theres any chance of justifying this one. Of course you can go and remove the news item now and explain it of as an oversight.

@kronos

Excuse. and not a very convincing at that.  To prove me wrong you will need to tell me that you new EVERY SINGLE ANSWER to all 10 questions beforehand. i didnt think so. Even if you did, i didnt, and i doubt many people did, As you would have already read in a previous post of mine in this very thread i came away with more information than i started with by reading the Q&A. ie, it was *new* to me. Hence by *your own* standard it is news.

But so nice of *you* to determine what *i* find interesting. You'll have to do better than that...


By the way, you will notice i havent posted this in the replies to the news item, as i dont feel i need to join the ranks of whining tossers and spoil someone else's otherwise enjoying read by polluting it with sarcasm and insults, which you will notice entered this thread long before i did. Oh, and another thing kronos, i didnt say that the look-a-like funnies was not news worthy, i implied that the Q&A is more newsworthy and i stand by it. Unlike others here, just because i dont find a particular topic interesting doesnt mean i need to feel threatened, spew crap and try ang get it removed as a news item. I dont find DE or MS related topic interesting, but its very rare that i would try and have them removed.

> It's really rather pointless to argue here.

Indeed it is, however my resolve is to let people know that the worst thing about this community... is this community. To be honest, getting the Q&A in the news section doesnt really rate on my care-o-meter that much. Letting people know that the constant whining is getting tired is more of a priority, and ill spite myself to do it.

Is a-inc to blame, in part, yes, but dont think its responsible for the entire problem, and certainly not to the degree people like to tell us. The times i have said the following is probably up into the double digits now, but its the bitch fighting that has ruined this once pinnicle of communities. Are you doing anything to promote the bitch fighting, no. But are you doing anything to resolve it, no. You just let the cheap shots continue. So whats the plan from here then? How do we move on and go forward as a community? I dont know! thats your job, but i do know that letting it continue the way it is, is certainly not the answer.

@marktime

So you dont have a party pack and you dont have a coupon but you would still like to complain on behalf of people that do??? How about this, I have both the party pack and coupon, i am a member of the club, i dont have a shirt, i dont have any upgrades to the party pack, the exchange rate from australia means it cost me a larger sum of money, I dont expect the pp upgrades, i dont expect the shirt.

I always simply saw the money as a donation that in some way would foster the hope of getting a new OS someday. Do i even have confidence in a-inc, not really, in fact apparently if they go bust hyperion would gain control the OS which is something i would love to see (hyperion controlling os, not a-inc going bust)

So, from now on, shut the hell up, I do not want you speaking on behalf of me because you obviously dont share my views. You seem to think you can speak with authority on a topic you have no interest in. The only difference between us is attitude, one of us likes to whine, one of us doesnt.
