Hear, hear!  Well said.

Folks, if we, the advocates for this machine, do not use resources
such as CSA2 to help, inform, and encourage, what will happen to this
platform?  The very persons who proclaim their love for the ][ are
often the same persons who insult, flame, and bash. To a newbie just
getting started, we must seem like a set of misfits with one eye in
the middle of our forehead.

What has happened to the willingness to help?  To the excitement about
the fun of new software and hardware?  To the camaraderie?

Bob Dale's book _To Dream Again_ talks about the lifecycles of
institutions.  We are in the next to last stage -- recriminations.  If
we don't capture a new dream for the ][, then death will follow.
