I'd love to hear about the Amiga One...

	Subject:	RE: [OT] Yes, I canned Olin again

	I just have to comment on this one...

	Regarding "Engineering Info" or whoever made that comment,
	Obviously, language like that has no place being broadcast to
	a list of 2000 peers, regardless of how you felt at the moment.
	To be fair, I remember well the first time Olin slammed me, and I
	wanted to reply in just the same way. It was only after I had seen
	him slam others a few (dozen) times that I was able to assign
	his opinion the appropriate amount of respect.

	Olin has made some great contributions to the list, but also at
	some considerable cost. How many have left because of his
	sharp comments? What could they have contributed if they had
	stayed? How many who are still here are less likely to respond
	because they don't want to risk Olins delivery of public
humiliation?

	I support the decisions of the Admins completely. Whether or
	not his most recent comments are offensive to any one of us,
	Olin was allowed back under strict restrictions, and his comments
	have managed to start another storm.

	For myself, I'll have a lower profile on the list for a while. I'm
expecting
	delivery of my Amiga One motherboard this week, and will be going
	all software long enough to get some things done there. I am sure
I'll
	be back though, I'm not finished playing with PIC's yet. 8^)

	Big thanks to everyone here, and especially to the Admins!
