I noted that, it was just a joke. Nonetheless it was totally unrelated to the question being asked and sounded more like unasked advertisement (which is elsewhere known as SPAM) than qualified information. Moreover, you gave incorrect information there, by saying that the emulated AmigaOS solutions are faster than AROS.

As long as they are your opinion, and as long as they are expressed as such, I really don't mind them. What I mind, as said, are those totally unasked for advertisements.

That's called "advocacy", and I don't like it when it means that you get overwhelmed with informations which you hadn't asked for. One thing is to express opinions related to the topic being discussed, another thing is to throw in the discussion totally underalated matter.

Many other times, when the AROS topic came up in the comments expressed in this site, you always "pointed out" that there are "better AmigaOS solutions on x86" out there... if I were to be malicious, I'd say that you've got something with AROS, specially if I consider that you've been privately prompted, by at least one person, to talk about AROS, and never cared of giving a reply.

As said, you don't give opinions, you do advertisement.
Should I consider all the SPAM I get in my mailbox as an exploitation of the right of speach?
