from this group with profanity in them, for example, and have added

Hello, and welcome to the list! I hope all this clatter doesn't scare you off... normally it isn't like this. This group is normally a great place to get all the information you would ever want. A lot of times, there is discussion about old mainframes, etc., which I personally don't know much about, but many of the members here do. I happen to specialize in the computers that you talked about, and most everyone here also has knowledge on those home computers as well. As far as the recent discussion about "some guy named Sam." -- it'll all be over soon, and hopefully the group with remain.... see, sometimes we get bored with the current discussion on classic computers and decide to drift far away... basically just something to do, but you're more than welcome to start a more on-topic thread! The last three days I've actually just been deleteing everything, because I know I won't enjoy reading about this list in dismay. I sure am glad I saw your post, however, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to welcome you to the group! No one else probably would have either, because their are more important things going on here :-) Anyway, my point is made, and most importantly, welcome to the group, and maybe you- as someone that isn't 'burnt out' will start a fresh new thread!
