Well, aside from the fact that comp.sys.mc68k already exists,
the problem with your suggestion is that then we'd be getting
all of the Apple dweebs running A/UX showing, thinking that
it would be a good place to share their problems.  I don't
want to hear their problems, I've got my own, and besides a
Unix-PC (3B1) with a 68010 outperforms a Mac with a 68020
quite handily.  And I don't need the twits running the Amiga
SysV port crawling in, either.

If this be name-calling, let me make the most of it.

I have always like that quote in your .sig, BTW.
