SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
There were no comments made about the removal of comp.sources.apple2.
There was one meta-comment about the overall worthwhile removal of
newsgroups.
RATIONALE: Remove comp.sources.apple2
The last approved message was in February 1997.
There are other more suitable means of distributing program sources,
so comp.sources.apple2 is not a suitable candidate for conversion to an
unmoderated newsgroup.

first approved message in September 1990. I could locate no charter for
