How about updating this "news" item now? The "coming
soon" is always there some days before fleecy's answers
arrives. And now they have. Wayne?

Having seen an identical post made by asian1 on
amiga.com a couple of days ago, I pretty sure he posted
this as sort of a joke reflecting the fact that before
fleecy's answers get posted, the questions have
"ANSWERS COMING SOON" witten under them. I think he
just forgot the trailing smiley.
 
The Q&A being fluff is an opinion (or a rant), not a news
item.  
If that's how you interpreted this post I am surprised you
didn't moderate it to be more objective. A news posting
should not have any obvious opinion of the poster (unless
that is the whole point of the post, such as with a
review). Opinions are what the comments are for.

I realize it's a lot of work to moderate a site. But if you
just tried to subtly say "do it yourself if you think you're
so good", I am not feeling the least guilty, rather insulted. I
do post news here whenever they come by me. I do not
have time to actively moderate. In this case I tried to help
by pointing out an angle you might had missed. If you
disagree with my interpretation, say so, instead of taking
the cynical route as soon as it is given.
 
If I misunderstood you attitude, I apologize in advance.
