	I think this is the worst thing one could do, and the worst
way one could go about it.  Cutting off newsgroup connectivity doesn't
make any sense if you're trying to spread information.  It's like
boycotting a newspaper that published a letter to the editor that you
disagree with -- instead, you should write your own letter.
	In the same way, if you don't like what Apple and Coherent are
doing, complain about it when it comes up.  More people, including
Apple and Coherent employees, will see what you've said and maybe
they'll agree.
