Then spank me.  I've never been referred to as an english gentleman,
thus I'm allowed to use a little french dialogue when I deem it
appropriate.  Mentioning something like searching for ""Apple II" faq""
will result in many results for csa2 is BEYOND obvious.

AND A2 Central is listed above it.  "A2 Central" has a lot more name
appeal than comp.sys.apple2 IMO, and will draw the traffic.

Searching for a FAQ is common for people who have been around the
internet for a long time, but not for the average user.

I didn't answer it because I don't understand what you mean by
A2Central "dying off", you clearly have your facts mixed up.  A2
Central has been a solid Apple II information site from its inception.
Both A2Central and CSA2 are thriving Apple II sites on the internet.
