Did you yourself jump in and say anything even remotely positive about Interceptor? No, of course, you jumped in with the remark about EA constructing a frame and rushing a product out to the streets. There are PLENTY of other ways to phrase that particular criticism – how about "Interceptor probably shows what the Amiga really can do. It's great we are finally seeing software on this level. If only they'd listen to us and include our suggestions, like the important suggestion for analog support." No of course not – wham bang, knee-jerk, negative sarcasm. Instantly. NO second thought – and there are plenty of wonderful things about Interceptor, and things that no other computer could possibly do. Where were the messages of support and request for additional information when I talked about Phasar? Where was the positive energy around the Silver conference in the message base? How about the William Hawes conference? I saw NOTHING (tho there may have been a message or 2.) Heck I don't even remember seeing a summary of what happened. Where was the positive information about Ferrarri when we were discussing it awhile back? Anyone have any POSITIVE comments about AmigaDOS 1.3 for Christ sake, instead of listing what WAS NOT done with it? Anyone have any POSITIVE comments about Empire which was just released? No, of course not – very little information except of course a little note from you that it is protected, with the "protect" in single quotes, I assume implying that it's not disk based. Was there a message "finally a multitasking fun game"? No. I hope you realize this is "constructive" criticism in any event. It's not fun, easy, I'm not sitting back here laughing and giggling with every word. There are some problems that need to be addressed. No doubt about it.
