Ya know, there is SO much complaining about how apple doesn't like the suers, how apple is trying to kill the machine, how apple isn't trying to kill the machine, etc, etc, that I am getting sick of it. Maybe we should have another newsgroup called comp.sys.apple2.bitch or comp.bitch.apple2. . . It may be a good idea. . . -- Sameer Parekh :-) | "Censorship is the worst crime ever commited" zane@ddsw1.MCS.COM | -Sameer Parekh Censors should be shot, | "If cartoons were meant for adults they'd be shown hung, and quartered! | on prime time" --Lisa Simpson

Maybe we should have a couple of additional newsgroups. One for //c & //e
users, one for //gs users, and one for games players. I'm sorry, but slugging
through 50 messages every day is a bit much. Especially if you wait a couple
of days between reading this stuff.

The traffic is getting kind of heavy. Then again, maybe just sticking to the topic would help, e.g., the Amiga vrs. Mac thread... Ray lang@rex.cs.tulane.edu

Sameer is right, sometimes you guys make me sick... :| Lets talk about something positive, we have heard the negative stuff enough, give it a break. Have you guys noticed that Matt & Dave don't talk much anymore, I think they have run off. I liked it better when they were here, but I guess they got tired of hearing all the bitching. I know I would.

In-Reply-To: message from lang@rex.cs.tulane.edu I agree. Splitting this into several different topics would be *great*. If I'm only on once a day, I have 70+ new messages to go through in this conference alone!

I am very much in favor of an Apple II+, IIE and IIC/IIC+ group. Out of 50
post to this news group MAYBE 3-5 messages are on or about the 8-bit twos. The
rest are IIGS, bitching/arguing, Apples trying to kill us/let's kill Apple,
didja hear about the new II they ain't gonna make...............
How about a technical news group on 8-bit Apple IIs!! Wow! That would be
different huh?

This is in regard to the 50 messages a day!
If you remember it was more like 100 a day back when! Now, people have moved
on to bigger and better things (Macs, Amigas, (oh no) PC's)

The next time "How to start a newsgroup" mail comes around I'll look into starting some new newsgroups. If anyone out there knows the procedure, would you be interested in passing the info along?
billy@pro-sol.cts.com (Billy Long) (10/07/90)
In-Reply-To: message from garym@pro-fishunt.cts.com It would be *great* to have an 8-bit II group, a GS group, and then another group for Mac/II wars, non-support complaints, etc. I'm getting tired of wading through all these negative messages.

I'm afraid I agree this time around. How about an unofficial "census" of how many eight bit // users would like to branch off. Send a note to me and I'll post a count. I'd like to find out two things. One, how many 8 bit users we have and two, how many would like to have a separate newsgroup. Maybe we could name it comp.sys.got-*our*-moneys-worth. bob church bchurch.oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu
