KEITH, WE HARDLY KNEW YOU was: Noise levels (yak yak)

 Dear Mr. Whitehead,
 
 You could have used some discretion like most of us on this list and
 just read the strings you found worthwhile. Instead you insult
 virtually everyone on the list and have created yet another flame war
 which has no end in sight. Please be advised to re-read the Classiccmp
 FAQ which describes how to unsubscribe and 'don't let the door hit you
 in the ass on the way out.'
 
 Sincerely,
 
 Marty Mintzell

 Well this list used to be good, now it has degenerated into 80%+ noise.
 
 I joined the list some time ago because it was a means to get information
 about some of the old computers I have collected, hardware and software
 wise. This list no longer serves that purpose.
 
 What does a 64 bit Z80 have to do with old computers
 What does gripes about EBay have to do about old computers
 What does a modern college education have to do with old computers
 
 I have been watching closely what has been comming though and I have found
 that by just looking at the heading I trash 95% of all messages, spot
 checks have shown me that there is nothing worth while reading.
 
 Go back and re-read what this list was supposed to be about.
 
 99% of useful information I now get is off other peoples web sites.
