Sorry to take this to the entire list, but the only alternative is
to completely ignore it. I received the following unsigned message,
apparently in response to my message about patching apple-cpm input,
and have no way to reply to it:
Annoyed@MIT-AI (Sent by ___041@MIT-AI) 05/23/82 11:31:36
PLEASE DO NOT SEND APPLE RELATED ITEMS TO INFO-CPM.
YOU ARE BORING MANY MANY PEOPLE, AND WASTING NETWORK RESOURCE.
Does this message reflect the general sentiments of persons on this
list? I HAD considered using only INFO-APPLE even for my cpm-related
questions, and in fact I started out doing so!! The result was that
other people began forwarding my messages to INFO-CPM, so I inferred
(perhaps incorrectly) that I might as well send them there directly in
the first place.
Are there any Apple CPM users out there who do not also
"subscribe" to INFO-APPLE ?? If not, should we begin using
INFO-APPLE as the forum for discussing Apple CPM related issues?
Are there non-Apple CPM users who would nevertheless still
like to hear about Apple CPM?
Comments, suggestions??

As far as I'm concerned, if it's about CP/M it belongs in info-CP/M whether
it be an apple, banana, or diddlytwat. Don't let some snooty-nosed bunch
get to you (in fact, ANYONE that's snooty-nosed over CP/M deserves a
restrained chuckle). I personally think CP/M s---s, but I'm not foolish
enough to cut my nose off to spite my face--I use CP/M because it's a
darn site better than most PC OSs. Anyway, just one man's opinion....
Oh, one more thing. I wonder if those who worry about 'conserving'
network resources subscribe to SF-LOVERS, or any of the other
digests, newsletters, and so forth.....C70:info-cpm (05/27/82)

I suggest the "bored" member of INFO-CPM alleviate his boredom by
having his name removed from the list. There is no place for this
kind of crap on an information sharing resource.

Please keep the Apple CP/M stuff coming. Lots of interest in it in my
area! CP/M is CP/M, no matter what machine it's on!
