it looks like those of us *TRULY* into Classic computing need to start
our own list (hosted on a Classic list server of course).
How rude of you to insult the list host. They generally work their
butts off for free. For pay, they get the promise of more butt-working.
You're free to start your own list. No parting insults necessary.
It all makes me wonder if the schism shouldn't be towards replacing
the mailing list with a web forum. That'll show the people who are
stuck reading this list on dial-up at 300 baud on an ASR-33.
On a web, the crud can be edited, threads corralled, useful messages
moved to the FAQ, etc.
