One last thing...

I can prove right here and right now that the atmosphere here on csa2 is 
less than conducive for the free-flowing sharing of Apple II information.

On Genie, CompuServe and Delphi, Apple II users are ecstatic today about 
the bomb-shell news that was dropped at KansasFest. Yet, here on csa2, 
not one of those people who attended Kfest has even bothered to share that 
news.

Now, think about that for a bit, and ask yourself why that could be.

I can supply a small hint...

The Australian programmer who last week demo'ed the most earth-shaking 
IIGS telecomm development ever (and, no, I'm not talking about Spectrum 
Internet Suite) is currently csa2's favorite target of flamers, lamers 
and pirates.  

Can you blame him for not wanting to share that info with csa2? I can't.

And, don't ask me about it either. As much as I'd love to share my 
excitement with people here, the pirates have forced me to spend my time 
on the net in other persuits...such as battling the forces of evil.

When those forces of evil are gone from csa2, I and every other Apple II 
developer will feel like we can, once again, share our knowledge and 
enthusiasm with everyone here. Until then, if you love the Apple II, you 
might seriously consider getting an account on one of the online services 
where the Apple II isn't under terrorist attack, and where people 
actually have fun and share their knowledge, and NEVER get into flame fests.

I have no great desire to see csa2 moderated, but at this point, I will 
not be swayed from my resolve. The pirates have left me no alternative.
