Windows advocacy: R.I.P.

[[H]omer]

coma: You are standing at the entrance to a large cave. There is a
sign here.

[H]omer: read sign

coma: The sign reads "comp.os.ms-windows.advocacy Newsgroup"

[H]omer: enter cave

coma: You enter the cave. It is dark.

[H]omer: say "Hello"

coma: Nobody answers.

[H]omer: shout "Hello"

coma: There is nobody in the cave to answer your calls. The sound of
your own voice echoes around the cave, increasing in pitch and volume
rapidly. Eventually the sound becomes so deafening that it makes you
dizzy and causes you to pass out. As you fall, you hit your head on
the wall of the cave and smash your skull. You die from the impact.

coma: Would you like to play again y/n?

Did anyone ever tell you that you are extremely boring?
You are.
Your posts are difficult to read and very dull.

In reality, you might have an encounter with a caveman (or K-man).

Best wishes,

Ha! The only reason I opened this group was that I disbelieved anybody could
participate in it. Now the question has become whether anybody ever did.

I think that point has been made.

Another point that is clear:
Mac users don't troll. We don't hang out around this group waiting to
spread hatred and lies, provoking people to obscenities and perpetrating
general mayhem.
Actually, we feel kind of sorry for you guys.
We like sharing. I'll share my Mac and my Mac insights with you. You
decide if you like it or not.
I know I like Macs. I explain why over at the Mac advocacy group:
comp.sys.mac.advocacy
But what ever works for you is probably what's best for you. Probably.

:-D

You notice that too, huh? And to think that Wintrolls in CSMA like to take
pot shots at that market study from Nielson that among other things revealed
Mac users have higher educations than Windows users.
