That control has proven itself necessary: yesterday it filtered out
an unsolicited message from PageGetter.

I fully second that.  I also feel that there are attitude differences.
Some people dislike software-based emulation, no matter how accurate it
is.  (Modern emulators are quite accurate to the machine cycle level.)
Some dislike hardware-based upgrades that neglect compatibility issues.
Lack of compatibility was one of the reasons that caused the Commodore 65
project to fail.

I suggest that one of those who are interested in
that project set up another mailing list.  You can use a commercial system
that is free of charge, such as "Yahoo! Groups" (http://groups.yahoo.com).
