.That's not an insult on you, just that much harder hitting questions, like their financial situation or why they ripped off customers were ignored.
Actually, the most significant question of all has still not been asked, despite the answer to it affecting the significance of all 40 other answers so far.
That question is this:
[color=FF0000]"Is Fleecy answering in his capacity as Amiga Inc. CTO, in which case Amiga Inc. are bound by his statements and promises, or is he talking as Fleecy Moss, private individual and Amiga user, in which case his answers are little more than his personal opinion?"[/color]
The "news" item seems to imply the former, but I don't think Ikir has any actual proof to back that up.
A weekly Q&A with Fleecy with only a link provided to the other site, and content not allowed to be reproduced here is NOT news, it's advertisement for that certain site and should be discussed in the forums, not as news.
...and
that is precisely the point I was making with the first comment to this thread. There are two ways in which this could have been presented:
(1) A short synopsys of the
newsworthy statements in Fleecy's answers, posted here as NEWS with a link to the full thing on AmigaWorld as a reference.
(2) A statement that news has been posted somewhere else and a link that people must follow to find out what that news might be.
Case (1) is the proper way to post news, while case (2) is just an abuse of the service for advertising purposes. In the case of AmigaWorld supporters, they have been doing (2) for four weeks now, here and on other Amiga forums. Not a single person has bothered to go for case (1) instead. This is not a coincidence.
I come to Amiga.org to read my Amiga related news. If I wanted to read it at AmigaWorld I would go there. It therefore follows that I do not come to Amiga.org expecting to find nothing more than links to other sites with the promise that there is news there if I follow them.
I keep seeing people say that Fleecy's answers are newsworthy. I wouldn't know, as I don't bother with anything Amiga Inc. say any more, unless they actually deliver product first. However, if there is news in Fleecy's answers, can somebody please say what it is?
