Over at amiga.org, the signature "takemehomegrandma" has published a somewhat satirical post - for your enjoyment, here goes:
I want to apologize that the AmigaOne has still not been released (A1 mobos+OS4). I also want to apologize to our competing companies that we have accused for crimes in public without being able to back those accusations up with either proof or legal action. I also want to apologize for not keeping our promises to you developers who bought our expensive SDK's. I also want to apologize to the users who bought our coupons, ehrm, JOINED OUR CLUB, but has not been given anything of the promised. I also want to apologize for the confusion when our offices suddenly were empty and our phones went dead (but that was a result of hackers, remember). Amiga Inc is truly a global 24 hours a day company and the future looks brighter than ever for our beloved AMIGA. We are pleased to announce a Games Pocket Pack to our friends Micro$ofts Pocket PC. This truly shows what a great commitment our 3000 content developers has to our beloved AMIGA. Wonderful things are about to happen as allways. Thank you, as allways, for your support. Keep the AMIGA spirit, and remember to follow our trademark wherever we go. We are AMIGA. You are AMIGA (if you pay us 50 bucks). We will be back with more exciting announcements during the next weeks. See you then! /Yours McBill
Well, there you go. Merry christmas!

"Season's Greetings from Amiga HQ": Hm? : Comment 94 of 220 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Björn Hagström on 26-Dec-2002 14:53 GMT | In reply to Comment 91 (Fabio Alemagna): > LOL :) So tell me, how's that different from having those selections saved
> in a cooky, apart from the fact that the way you're trying to make me believe
> you do it is the least comfortable?
Have I said that there is or isn't any difference? What does this has to do with the original issue? Am I trying to say to you that any certain way is least confortable? Where have I said anything to that extent? What has confortable
to do with the original issue?
What I said was: You are Wrong, I do not have all sections selected by default and provided the means to show that it is not a proof that all sections are selected as default just because someone posts in all of them. You know that thing, what did you call it, ahh yes, simple logic.
> In the end what matters is that you chose

> to NOT view them, hence my first comment to your post, whose point still
> stants: make your choice, but don't enforce it upon everyone.
No, what matters is what image ANN wants to have. Not what I choose to read or not. That is totally unrelated to the whole issue. And what settings or whatnot I have does in no way affect the image of ANN. If ANN wants to promote such postings by having them on the front page by default then I indeed find it a farce as I said in the original message. And I'm totally fine with ANN promoting itself that way if that is what TK wants to accomplish, I just find it to be a farce and I won't take Ann seriously as long as it does. I have no problem to choose what I read or not, and that has absolutely nothing to do with my original message.
