And then he posts things that everyone knows about thinks he's the first      
person to discover it. "Commodore's marketing does a horrible job promoting  
the Amiga" Duh, no shit, like nobody knew that before, wow what a startling  
revelation! And then again "I said it before, Commodore's marketing is inept"
Well no shit Sherlock, thanks for telling us again. But wait, there's more,  
even a third time. "Hey guys, Commodore doesn't market the machine". Gee,    
thanks again Sherlock, we didn't understand it the first 50 times.

of MB and then just add a one-line insult, that are most annoying.
