Historically the place for AppleTalk-related matters has been
comp.protocols.appletalk. Now the traffic seems split between there
and comp.sys.mac.comm. I havn't got the original announcements
(not on this machine) so I don't know what c.s.m.comm was meant to
be for, but I hoped it was for serial comms and like matters.

Now I find I'm having to read TWO newsgroups instead of one, and am
naturally coming across a lot of articles twice. This is a real pain
at 2400 baud, and especially on this reader (reasons deleted)!

Is there any way we can come to a concensus on which group is appropriate
for AppleTalk or is the genie out of the bottle?

For most of you this is probably a waste of network badnwidth, so POST
you responses back to me, be it flames, votes, suggestions or quotes from
the original long-lost announcements that prove me wrong.

Thank you for your time (and P4 Phosphor and ribbons and pixels and....).
