No it isn't. The point is that the is extremely popular, and so this group
is dominated by discussion of that machine to the point that other c.s.h.
readers cannot use it. Either we stop reading, or wade through piles of
stuff irrelevant to us to look for a couple of scraps of relevancy. This
is of course, a vicious circle:  high 48/other stuff ratio -> fewer non 48
users -> higher 48/other stuff ratio. Why do you think 28 discussion died so
rapidly? DON'T KID YOURSELF that there are fewer 28 users out there: EG in 
Australia, the 48 costs $650 (no free card offers!) - as a result, it's about
as good value for money as the commadore 16 :-). Well anyway, I've only ever
seen one, and not many places sell them.
