He was supported in <8710061747.aa16857@SMOKE.BRL.ARPA>,

	Until I got to these articles, I was thinking to myself,
"Well, I guess it's time to unsubscribe to comp.sys.apple.  Ever since
they got the long-awaited file server in a place where it does me no
good at all, all that I see on the newsgroup is 'Subscribe me!' 'Wow,
here's a nifty keen program to do everything anybody ever wanted.  Get
it off the LISTSERV!', and 'Would you ^@^# morons send the right
messages to the right places!'."

	Please, please, please, can we get this stuff off of
comp.sys.apple/info-apple and use this group to talk about apples?
Perhaps someone on the wider net can suggest a way to do this.  (This
is why I have cross-posted to news.groups and included most of the
original article.)  A new newsgroup does not sound reasonable, but
since a good amount of the volume is people subcribing to (or more
properly trying to subscribe to) a mailing list, a mailing list would
be a little recursive.  (*sigh*)
