Hello all,

I can't believe that so far there has not been a single reply to the recent
announcement that the Info-Atari16 digests will be discontinued.

This will mean that the BITNET/EARN Atari users will lose their link to the
rest of the Atari world.  (And you others will lose their participation in
ST discussions).

But no, that blasted piracy discussion (runner-up is the Phantom typist one)
happily continues, people are posting huge signatures with two-line messages,
others post in triplicate, and the digests are discontinued due to TOO MUCH
NET TRAFFIC!!!

Why is it that the real work is always left to a few people like Ravi et al?
Yes, I'd volunteer, but I'm only on a BITNET end node, so I can't do anything.

Or am I missing something??  Flame away.
