Why? Create another list becauae a minority of subscribers consider their opinions
paramount? Don't read what isn't of interest to you. Somewhat of a majority of
topics don't interest me. Should I complain that some topics are about stuff that is
too old and irrelevant (and annoying, in actuality, yes it's so) to some of us?
My intent isn't to force my will on anyone. Nor even alter what is appropriate. My
post posed a question. Some said go for it. I went for it. And 1 odious objection was
raised. Somebody just keep an accurate tally.

I think a sublist , for 8 and 16 bit micros might be a good idea.
Apples and Coco's and C64's would be the common sublist
and Soviet PDP 11 might be on say the rare sublist. Ben.
Specifically as pertaining to old/vintage/classic/retro compuing discussion, what exactly
is on topic? On top of my head as a for imstance I have some questions pertaining to
Windows 2003 and socket 603/604. Something tells me that doesn't qualify, so it
behooves me to ask.
The original rule, back around ’96/97 was anything older than 10 years was on-topic. I
think the idea behind that is still valid, but these days a 10 year old system isn’t that
much different from a current one. I think at one point someone suggested it should be
shifted to 20+ years.
