Maybe Brian Tao should repost the charter for comp.sys.apple2? If
advertising is not in it, I don't want to see any, no matter who the
person is or how much they've done for the II.

The alt.ssii group could probably get done but I don't want to see
comp.sys.apple2.ssii. comp.sys.apple2.gno was a brain-dead idea (I
don't mean to offend the GNO camp but comp.sys.apple2.unix is much
better).
