Wrong.

Right.  And that includes this STUPID "Boycott Microsoft" crosspost.
I personally side with the Justice Department on the monopoly of
Microsoft matter, but this does not belong in comp.sys.apple2.

I subscribe to this newsgroup because of it's name, comp.sys.APPLE2.  I
am very interested in learning about and talking about the Apple II
series computer. But frankly, I'm just sick of all the MICROSOFT posts
that have nothing to do with the Apple II.  There are a dozen other
sites one can go to and post information and coments about MICROSOFT
BOYCOTT.  Now, i am not flaming any one person, but I'm just making my
feelings towards the matter public, as I hope others will too. Let's
keep the posts related to the underlying subject, okay?  Thanks.
