Oh well, I'll just killfile anything mentioning XGS then.  I was hoping
that it would migrate naturally.

comp.emulators.apple2 is the group that should be used for discussion
specifically about emulating the Apple II.  Occasional references in
comp.sys.apple2 are fine, as long as followups are directed to
c.emulators.a2.  Ongoing discussions should not take place in c.sys.a2.

What?  How hard is it to subscribe to two newsgroups?

I read both groups, but don't have as much interest in emulation as the
real thing, so I don't want to read articles about emulation-specific
issues in c.sys.a2.

XGS articles have been about 20% of the discussion I've seen in
comp.sys.apple2 this week.  That is way too high.
