There are mostly new converts to this crusade, but some of the old players
are still there! Its absolutely amazing! A Usenet Jihad that has been
going on for nearly 3 years now, mostly unfettered!!! Some sociologists
would get a kick out of studying the human behaviour on this newsgroup
alone.

Sam,
I was not aware of this. I will look through my archives. I downloaded
some Apple II FAQs about a year ago from somewhere on the web. Perhaps
it was the person you mentioned who authored them.

Actually, it was quite hilarious when it wasn't tedious. TMK Nathan Mates
and his supporters are now ensconced on the Delphi A2 forum.
comp.sys.apple2 has settled down into a more rational newsgroup with
only an occasional flurry sparked by a NM type doing a guerilla attack.
I downloaded NM's FAQ before he pulled it. I wonder what the status
of this formerly freely-distributed property is. Hmmm , might be fun to
upload it to the Asimov site and see the sparks fly. :^))
