This is a blatant attempt to force the issue in the most public way possible.
It was indeed a blatent attempt to force the issue, but look at it from my point of view. If I had suddenly announced that I'd ported (say) Sim City 4 to OS4, then didn't answer any questions about it for 2 weeks, while at the same time posting on other forums, what would you conclude? Exactly... so that is why I forced the issue.
but reading through the stuff that has been posted over the last 24 hours or so it has put me in a total rage

Which comments put you in a rage? There were a fair few comments on ANN doubting you did what you said you did (which motivated me to start the thread to find out the truth - see my reason above) - including 2 ANN moderators. But really, you can't doubt that this is to be deserved from the way you have behaved over the past year. You reap what you sew.
Anyway, although I personally will probably never use AROS on the PPC, I think it's excellent news for everyone in the Amiga community that it exists, and I'm sorry for doubting you, and I hope I've explained why.
