You know what, Steve, considering that some of the people requesting
the move frequent comp.emulators.apple2 and WANT to discuss this
topic there, I think your reply is incredibly rude.

The least you can do is CROSS-POST it to comp.emulators.apple2.
Then at least you can see and participate in the dicussion from that
NG.

But I suppose you are too ticked off to do that.

Not every criticism is someone on csa2 trying to "categorize" a
discussion.  Sometimes, there are those who read the OTHER
newsgroup too and want to see the discussion there.  Simple as
that.

I am suggesting cross-posting, but that's just a suggestion.  In
any event, I will cease to read XGS threads 'cause I'm not going
to be pulled into another flame war.  Don't be like Nathan (who had
a tendency to explode irrationally when anyone made a suggestion
to him).
