Where do the 6809ers hang out?  There are many in the coco communities, 
but I have not seen any others.

c.s.m6809 is pretty much dead.

The Yahoo groups setup by Willi can hold files whereas c.s.apple2 cannot 
and is a bit easier to manage than asimov or "the secret email account".

I am unsure why Yahoo groups need an invitation.  Perhaps to limit spam? 
 I am not sure how long Yahoo (and their groups) will last.
