    "Antics" is an interesting way to characterize discussions which
notified users of a Wolfenstein 3D bug, produced work-arounds, and,
probably, helped to protect a number of user systems from damage.


     Your expression ...

>>
Wolfenstein 3D "bug"
<<

has been shown to be inaccurate. You can remove the quotes. That it was
a _bug_ in the _game_ is something any user can demonstrate by loading
and running the new version of Wolfenstein 3D.

     You will notice that the bug in the game has been been fixed and
that the game now runs fine under the _standard_ Apple IIgs System
6.0.1.

     That person probably wishes you had not posted the above. It was a
remark made in the heat of the moment by someone who was still fatigued
after straining to meet a release deadline. The remark, really, had been
forgotten and will, most likely, be forgotten again.

     Are you advocating the decertification of our .programmer
sub-group?

     The place programmer-related posts often go on Csa2 is Csa2
.programmer. This is 'officially' where they are supposed to go,
although plenty of programming stuff gets posted on Csa2 main and no one
really minds. 

     Let's see ... a quick scan of Csa2 main (comp.sys.apple2) shows
June posts for all of those mentioned earlier except Dave Lyons. In most
cases, the number of Csa2 main posts by these persons actually exceeds
posts to our .programmer sub-group.

     Whether you are talking about better know programmers like Mike
Westerfield and Henrik, the many other users who write useful,
interesting software, or beginners, Csa2 continues to welcome and
attract programmer participation.
