Now that there is an INFO-ATARI16, it would seem to me that when a posting
is ST specific, rather than of general interest to ALL atari owners - or
at least mixed - that it should be directed to the new list.  Those who 
insist on cluttering up the net with inappropriate postings rate in my book
right along with the cretins who were perpetuating the ad-nauseum exchange
about mac vs. st vs. amiga.  Likewise, postings which are 8 bit specific -
no general interest material - belong at info-atari8.

   It's been my observation that a lot of the flaming and misunderstanding
regarding ARPA connections has to do with the connection itself, and is
not attributable to the "cretins" on either side of the electronic curtain.
Being on USENET, I personally don't (and more importantly, shouldn't have to)
take into consideration the fact that somebody may take my posting and 
route it into another network.  After all, it's kinda rude to take a perfectly
acceptable USENET article from net.micro.atari onto the ARPANET, and then
complain about it.  Likewise for us USENETters complaining about all the
"delete me" and "add me" messages.  Perhaps some education on both sides
may help.  Being admittedly ignorant about such matters, I wouldn't mind
some educating myself.
