I don't consider time spent discussing the hobby
to be wasted. If you do,
as your wording seems to imply, I have to wonder, why are you here?
For the occasional post that is actually related to 'Classic Computers', as
opposed to the endless kvetching about (other) people, 'PeeCees', M$ etc.,
recurring intolerant arguments about the 'best' way to do anything, vanity
posts from folks who think we're interested in their opinions about just
about everything, etc.
It just seems that seven or eight people have 'taken over' the list as a
forum for their often lengthy and OT opinions and arguments, while I see
familiar people with much to contribute leaving and appearing on other lists
instead and citing the above 'noise' as the reason (not to mention the folks
still here begging them to keep it down and on topic).
A shame IMO.
