What are you doing here? (2 Tim Yunaev)

Hello, Tim!
Our correspondence has already acquired the character of an off-topic and therefore let me ask you: “If you are so sure that you are right, then what are you doing here
in zx.spectrum?” Who are you, pisishnik, amishnik, who? ...IMHO
not a spektrumist. In this case, keep your “deep” ideas to yourself.
We haven’t seen anything like that here...no one is forcing anyone here with a lasso!
But we won’t allow anyone to trample on our ideals!
Do you have any sensible suggestions for the benefit of the Spectrum - express them,
no?...good riddance!

It’s people like you who are dying out, but people like me, they will work until
they die a physical death!

There are modes with a large number of characters per line!

If we are talking about the Internet, UUCP is enough for me! and Spectrum, I think, should also be enough for now.

For you it may suck (since you and people like you are “cool guys”, but for
ordinary people it’s quite acceptable!)

I’ll tell you again: “I grew up from the Spectrum” - go for a walk! Establish yourself in other
worlds, I’m not saying that this isimpossible. Perhaps...try to put the Gates empire under the belt, or "write to the table", telling everyone
that if you had time/money/connections...etc. “You really should”...I’ve seen and re-seen people like that in my lifetime, but to sit here cross-legged, contemptuously
looking around at the “world” and teaching others “how to live”? - so keep in mind that people here are
different...and not just “green boys”!

Don’t distort!...I know different...3-year-old children are seated in front of an IBM PC,
so “the computer business is war!” and everyone prepares their soldiers
"from the cradle", my children (although rather grandchildren) will sit at the Superspectrum!
Otherwise, why would I, a 37-year-old "kid" hang around here.

You want to say that the Sprinter board can be made for$20?
Well...how much can we bet that you won’t?

And here are the “five articles”, we were talking about the Spectrum, and as you know it
has been “promoted” since the late seventies!

>Adults communicate with each other not at all because one of them is a “pisishnik”, “Spectrumist”, “Amishnik”, etc.
I can communicate with “pisishniks” and “Amishniks” about anything, but not
about the Spectrum! When they start to “water” it and “trample” it, I want to
remember my military youth and drive “straight to the right” over the pumpkin.
