Every post I've seen from you, you took a moment to slam Apple II 
enthusiasts.  It is starting to seem to me that you primarily attend this 
group for the purpose of tweaking Apple II people who don't own Macs.  You 
make big noises about owning all those pre-Mac computers, but you put on 
such snotty, superior airs that I wouldn't be surprised to find that you 
haven't bothered to turn any of them on for years.

There's no question that a lot of people don't have very refined 
communicating skills online.  But that applies to a percentage of owners 
of ALL computers, not just Apple II's.

How about this for a reason to slam mis-posted Mac questions: we see a TON 
AND A HALF of them here and on the commercial services, and it REALLY gets 
old.  And then we have to put up with Mac people like you to boot whose 
primary contribution to the thread is to call Apple II users buttheads.
