	The situation in comp.sys.apple is such that the technical
	information is being mixed too heavily with the non-tech
	info.  This is fine for some people, but others would like
	to be able to read only one type of info or the other.  By
	"cleaning up" comp.sys.apple, we would be forced to limit
	our discussions to certain issues, and besides going against
	the first amendment, that task would require a full time
	moderator (read *censor*).

	Personally, I would like to see as much information flow
	on the Apple II family as possible (ok, so I'm biased :-),
	and organizing the discussions seems to be a logical
	course in keeping that information flowing.
