   I personally feel that an Apple II forum should be reachable via an Apple II.   
   I'm not sure if that makes me a "purist" or more likely an "idiot". I've tried   
   Slack, and yes, I know things like that have very good interaction. 8-Bit Guy   
   very politely clued    
   me in to some of the web-based forums and my questions certainly did get   
   answered by very knowledgable persons (in my case Nox Archaist in A2Desktop   
   questions).   
      
   But I'm still an aging idiot, and prefer non-web anything when it comes to   
   Apple II stuff. Yes, I need the IIgs for Usenet, but on IIe the Telnet sites   
   are really good ( I admit that the time limitations are annoying).   
      
   I just think that Usenet and Telnet are very viable still.   
      
   Thanks for reading,
