Jeeze, Supertimer, take a valium and lie down for a while. It might just
be that Steve forgot to add in the crossposting, or just didn't think of it.

There's certainly no reason for you to get so "ticked off" about it as
well. And you could certainly suggest a cross-posting to Steve instead of
just accusing him of being ticked off.

You know, I honestly think you're being more like Nathan than Steve is.
He was, after all, the master of jumping onto threads he didn't like with
flames, after all. ;-)


In response to the original message, I agree that with the departure of the
anti-christ ;-), comp.sys.apple2 is a much more productive place, and I for
one certainly wouldn't mind seeing XGS threads here. Certainly anyone who's
really against emulation could filter out the XGS threads without any problem.

Certainly there's some purists who might say XGS threads are more related to
comp.emulators.apple2, but in the end it's a convenience - it's up to the
creator of XGS to decide which groups more appropriate.

Cheers.
