That's not what I got out of the RFC on dumping the A2 binaries.  How on earth can you say it
was due to lack of use?  Don't you know that people tend to take the printed word (even on
screen) as more legit than not?  A2 binaries was dumped due entirely to assholes posting
commercially-released movies and software (not A2 stuff, of course).  I had a look-see when
they started warning that it was about to happen and day after day; some asshole in South
America was posting tons of binaries of some Anime series.  That's not `nothing happening'.
That's not Apple II stuff.  That's cold piracy.  Nothing else but.  You could clarify your
statement by indicating that there's been no Apple II activity - just plenty of OTHER
activity.  Your statement is somewhat mis-leading.  No offense meant.  Just really surprised
by the lack of `completeness' in your statement as to why it was dropped.
