It sure seems like no one is listening when I read post after post about
stuff that is totally irrelevant to talk about in this newsgroup.  From my
understanding, comp.sys.apple2 does not exist to discuss anyone's personal
feelings toward Apple Computer, Inc., Commodore Business Machines Inc., or
any other company.  It's to talk about our use of Apple // computers. 
Period.  This other stuff just DOESN'T belong here.
