And there is the not inconsiderable argument that while it may be bad
for the charter it's good for the market. If people feel they can
occasionally let off steam or share a joke with other people who they
'know' only through these groups, they will be more likely to feel
good about the RISC OS marketplace and buy things which in the long
term benefits all of us including the charter freaks.
