Well said. Flaming is wrong one way or the other. It turns people
away from this already small group. All it does is further damage
the viability of the Apple II. What has flaming got to do with the
this group? Dosn't that usenet faq say that such irrelevant garbage
should be directed to email?
 
Good suggestion.
