Re: Spamming the retrocomputing groups about "Wazaboo"

["Jason Whorton" <jason at microxl.com>]

Yes, please slow down on the Wazaboo posts.  You post around every two days,
but sometimes twice in one day.  That is just too often.

To Scott Alfter - Posting his BBS phone number in his sig won't help, as he
pretty much doesn't post anything except his BBS phone number.  That's all I
see in the last three months, anyway.

Thank you,
Jason Whorton
