I think Bill Whitson did a good job of putting this discussion group together, with his simple yet effective qualification process (who are you and why should you be allowed to be in this discussion group). I think thus far we have had some really good discussions on some good stuff. The same can't be said about a newsgroup because off-topic messages and superfluous cross-posting of drivel are inevitable. But... Keeping it to ourselves is counter productive. The point is to share the knowledge to get more people interested to preserve more computers. The point is we do this because we have passion for the systems. Every hobby is going to be prostituted some time or another. As long as your passion remains, its all good.
