I sent mail to Eric when he asked for opinions if the mailing list was
becoming too active, and told him that I preferred to use netnews rather
than a mailing list because of the large volume of mail.  I use mail to get
info from the other writing groups here at work and I have to read through
all the COCO stuff to get the work-related stuff.  And you all know how
tough it is to pass up reading anything about the COCO.:-) If the info is in
netnews, I can read it at night.

By the way, Pete Lyall, I finally got my disk from the OS9 User's Group, it
looks like there is some really good stuff on it.  Has anyone suggested
that the format of the help files be  changed slightly to make them a
little easier to follow.  I just scanned through them briefly, but to me,
they appeared confusing.  There was too much info there.  Does anyone else
have any opinion about the help files on the UG disks?
