Re: comp.sys.apple2, FINAL NOTICE of Newsgroup Removal

["Donald C. Lee" <coach41@pacbell.net>]

Hi,

   Figures only the COMPUTER newsgroups would reply.  The message popped
up in a few other groups I wander through: Golden State Warriors
basketball, CSA2, so I am guessing this is a hoax.  What dorks, some
people must have a lot of time on their hands.
