     Well, yes. Considering where the traffic was, one person who
actually answers a few questions would tend to produce an upswing.

     Maybe. However, you are talking about a small, sterile, environment
which seems on the way to becoming smaller and more sterile. If there is
not, soon, an end to the constant meddling of forum managers and
suppression of discussion of important issues, more individuals and
groups will announce their departure from Delphi (e.g. a recent email
group notification) or they will say nothing and simply not show up any
more.

     Every regular Csa2 participant has been "out of here" at some time
or other. This is an open, easy to access, reasonably high-speed forum
which allows anyone to post anything. Things can get rough here.
'Things' can be fun, boring, abusive, kind, weird, and exciting, too.

     Those who oppose archive sites are free to make charges of
"software piracy". Those who believe that everyone should buy a Mac and
run GS software via Bernie are free to say so. You are free to criticize
them, Csa2, Apple Computer, Microsoft, or whomever.

     Probably, it would not hurt for every Csa2 subscriber to explore
alternatives which are not so free. Have a nice trip!
