Well, add an "s" after "source", and we have this already... :)

I favor this one, if for no other reason than I might be able to hook up with
a local BBS through it (I haven't found any local Apple II boards, and I've
been searching everywhere.  I even go the the extent of posting as much Apple
II stuff as I can on a Messy-DOS board. :}

>comp.sys.apple2.programmer (proposed)

I favor this one, too.  It would really help everybody to keep the techie
questions and the user questions separated.

>comp.sys.apple2.marketplace (proposed)

Another winner, although only because it would reduce flow on csa2 (and make
singling out those ads easier when you needed stuff :).

>comp.sys.apple2.advocacy (proposed)

This is getting silly, though... the only people who would read it are people
who already _use_ Apple IIs, so I don't exactly get the point.  Besides, there
ain't no way in hell it'd pass. :)

>comp.sys.apple2.newuser (proposed)

Well, again, I think this is pretty pointless.  No reason.  You figure it
out.

Sure, I have some ideas:

comp.sys.apple2.gsos
comp.sys.apple2.prodos8
comp.sys.apple2.dos3.3
comp.sys.apple2.pascal
comp.sys.apple2.applesoft
comp.sys.apple2.the_wonders_of_apple
comp.sys.apple2.forever
comp.sys.apple2.bashing
comp.sys.apple2.news
comp.sys.apple2.rumores
comp.sys.apple2.sound
comp.sys.apple2.graphics
comp.sys.apple2.65816
comp.sys.apple2.65802
comp.sys.apple2.65C02
comp.sys.apple2.6502
comp.sys.apple2.IIplus
comp.sys.apple2.II
comp.sys.apple2.IIe
comp.sys.apple2.IIc
comp.sys.apple2.IIgs
comp.sys.apple2.IIcplus
comp.sys.apple2.appleworks

If you hadn't noticed, I was being sarcastic. :) :)
