   "slop" like what?  New users joining the conference and asking,
for the 1e38th time, about DesqView/X?  People arguing over whether
it's FASTOPEN's fault or the optimizer's fault if FASTOPEN doesn't
always reflect the real contents of an optimized disk and insulting
each other's professional credentials over the disagreement?

   It took me months to tire of the Fido DESQVIEW conference,
partly because there is a QuarterDeck agent participating - at
least there was some tech info there.
