Does that mean that if I have a question about Kermit on the Mac, I should post
it  to  info-kermit?   Or  info-mac?  How  about a querry on the Atari 1040ST -
should it go to info-atari16 or info-68k?  Uh, oh -  a  problem  with  my  Unix
termcap  for  the  Zenith  19:  should  it  go  to  info-unix, unix-wizards, or
heath-people??   Printer  problems   on   your   Z-100,   anyone?    Refer   to
info-printers, heath-people (again), info-hz100, and info-ibmpc!

Get  the  picture?  Look, guys.  New folks on the net don't mean to step on any
holy toes, so don't pass out sermons with such  righteous  indignation.   Maybe
someone  just doesn't understand net protocol - so be big about it and take the
time to explain it.  Besides, when confronted with too  many  options  -  as  I
tried  to  point out above - there's always info-micro.  After all, and I quote
from  the   List   of   Lists   maintained   at   the   SRI-NIC,   "INFO-MICRO:
Information/discussion list on the general interest topic of microcomputers".

Flame off, please.
