@Wayne,
Hear, hear, and hear, hear again!
I vote for a permanent link to that post from the front page of Amiga.org!
"Forum guidelines: Think."
When I want to passively read marketing and press-releases, I'll go to the corporate site. The news-item comments and forums here are for discussion.
Of course I'm not saying that agreement with and praise of something coming from A. Inc. is automatically "wrong", I'm saying that since this is supposed to be a forum for discussion people shouldn't be surprised when they actually see discussion and different opinions.
When everyone in a forum says the exact same thing, then that forum is dead and no longer fills any meaningful function. Then it's nothing but a sickening
circle-jerk.
