@jtsiren:

I really doubt people visiting a hobbyist site like Amiga.org give that much difference to news and forums.

I can't speak for anyone else but *I* take "news" items much more seriously than forum items. So your assertion is wrong, I'm afraid.

If it's "news", I expect it to be "news", and while I never contributed on targhan's "news" item the other day, I have to say that I also thought it should have been a forum item.

@gary_c

It's great to see these people participating in the forums, but both Ben and Bill have rather spotty records in terms of appropriateness in what they say.

I agree with you here, 100%. Sometimes I wish they would both just shut up. I know they have a right to slag each other as much as the rest of us but, taking their relative positions into account, it really makes them look petty & unprofessional.

Hi gary,

Haven't people caught on by now that Bill Buck likes to push buttons when he knows he can get a good reaction?

Yes.  :-) He got me antagonised once but when you talk to him (Hi Bill!:-)) one to one, he comes across as an intelligent, decent bloke.

It's not a very attractive game,

BINGO!! that's the problem I have with it.

In the meantime Bill Buck has a product that's selling and the attitude that he gains more from the controversy than he loses from ruffling people's feathers. If you react, you're playing his game; or you can sit it out.

I see it like that, too. Time will tell if he's right. :-)  :-)
