I'm sorry but I still don't see the relevance of the Pegasos on an Amiga website.

Take a generic example: What if some new computer came along that could run AmigaOS applications? Would you be curious? Would that be relevant on an Amiga platform news site? OK, that new computer is Pegasos. See the relevance?

Perhaps we should advertise the AmigaOne on Microsoft.com?

You're really scratching the bottom of the bin for arguments if you think this one makes sense.   ;-)

I think it's apparent that a case can be made logically for Pegasos news on news sites read by Amiga platform fans, broadly defined. But, it seems to me,  you personally don't like Pegasos/MorphOS nor do you want them to succeed, as you see them depriving Amiga, Inc. of users, developers and mindshare.

This actually may be true, but if Amiga, Inc. wants to succeed, then they have to compete in the market place. This is done by producing a superior product. Enthusiastic fans trying to repress news about competitors' products (that would be you) is rather unbecoming and suggests Amiga, Inc.  and its partners are relatively weak and their product can't stand up in comparisons. I don't think you believe this is true, but it's how your actions look when you express your "no pegasos news on news sites read by Amiga computing fans". Notice that description, also; it's broader than the readership of a support site for one commercial company or product.

You are welcome to your point of view, of course, but a number of people have posted to say they do want to read Pegasos/MorphOS news at amiga.org. So I think you can expect to continue to see it here; either accept that gracefully or post derisively every time Pegasos news is posted, causing bad feelings.

Eventually, hopefully there will be some resolution of the contentious issues. In the meantime, a higher level of tolerance might be a good idea. Just my opinion, of course.
