No new information is given.

How to post a news item, part #1:

If there's no "new information" contained, don't post it.

If you post it, let the reader decide for himself if it's newsworthy/interesting.

The fact that Amiga's representatives are wallowing in spouting the same non-information constantly IS news. The fact that after all the hype of Amiwest absolutely NOTHING useful came out of it is, in fact, news.

That's your personal opinion. Your personal opinion does not belong into a news item (unless it's clearly marked as a rant).

Your job as a news moderator is to deliver facts, not opinion made up as facts.

I stated a fact. The Q & A did not in fact give any new news whatsoever.

That's not a fact, that's your personal opinion. Note that I don't neccessarily disagree with your point of view regarding his matter, but here are some things that might be considered "news" by some of you readers:

Bill was very upset that he couldn't come but when the security of your family and home is put at jepoardy then he had little choice.

AmigaOS4.1 will feature a state of the art set of support services for third parties to use when developing their browser clients. A default browser will ship and, whilst it will make full use of these services, the client function set will be basic. We have no intention of pushing our browser companies out of business.


I realise that my original comment was way to aggressive/arrogant, and I'm sorry about that. But my point still stands.
