It's nice to see that the people that seem to hate you, are so ineffective at doing do. If you can pick a few pearls (sales) out of an otherwise stinky trashcan of garbage (flames and hate replies from anonymous cowards and other "believers of the lies"), why not endure the stench to do so, I figure. :-)

BTW, assuming you've been reading any of my posts, if Atari, Inc. decided to start selling computers again, would you be interested in selling them? In other words, are you just trying to get rid of current inventory and get out of the Atari business or would you continue to "sell Atari" if more, new stuff arrived? Just curious.

Negative attention. Positive attention can be attained by posting a link to your ads. That keeps everybody happy, it minimizes the amount of spam in this group to those who are not interested and yet makes it easy for people to find you should they need something. Which part of this don't you understand?

All you are doing is dividing your potential customer base. Not a very smart move from a "businessperson" attempting to make some money from a niche market.

It would appear the criticism of Ben's ads is spam for they far out number his ads.

Anyone who can't bypass messages that are obliviously of no value to them has a serious mental health problem.

Spam is unsolicited e-mail. But the continued criticism of an individual's ad comes close to spam.

Well, I'm going to let you go now. I'll return to my secret government work in my Buzz Lightyear uniform and you can get on with your policing the internet in your Andy cowboy outfit with the little tin Sheriff's badge. I know it will be a safer Internet with your dedication and perseverance.

P.S. Ben your ads are always welcome on that portion of the Internet that serves the other six continents. It's been O.K.'s by Space Command.
