Why not resurrect all three.

Seriously, I'm getting tired of csa2 vs. Delphi vs. AOL vs. IRC.

ALL Apple II Forums are good.

There are already Apple II users on AOL.  What's wrong with
reviving an existing forum on this service?  I think it is a good
thing.

It is certainly more productive for csa2 users on AOL to chat
on AOL than for Delphi users to flame csa2 or csa2 users to
flame Delphi.  And on Dec 3, the Apple II Forum on AOL
was successfully revived.  It was great!

AOL is in the process of implementing internet based access
to services for members (just as Delphi does, except not
for free), so soon it may be possible to chat using Lynx on
an Apple II.  You'll still need an AOL account, though.....
