Which clearly shows my responses generate a lot of noise from others.

Going back to that "ram board" discussion, I only stated a _fact_:
Aixit's products have always been hard-to-find outside Germany and
Marpet's never been sold much outside UK.  I then conclude that we
_could_ assume m68000 users have a maxium of 4 MB.   _One_ post. 

Result?  About 20 replies stating that "Sorry, buddy, _I_ have one 
of those on _my_ Atari and it works fine."

Now, boy, was I noisy on that, was I?  

ROTFL

I haven't ignored it. See below the part you failed to notice, where I
address the issue:  better installation instructions would avoid those
newbies problems (then again, a setup that works both on floppy or HD,
not on one _or_ the other at random, would help too e.g. KGMD).

(no response to this part, Lonny?)
