Fellow Netters,
                I would just like to comment on what Murph said detailed above.
I am running a proline site in Australia and my decision to setup this site
was based around the fact that apple support is very limited down here
and that Fidonet is useless. It was a little disappointing when I found out
what an FTP site really was.  Therefore, the introduction of an FTP site
for the good of all by apple last month, really meant nothing to myself
and my fellow users who are very keen on this conference.  I think that a
LISTSERV at apple would be great.  Being able to get the information via
EMAIL that the apple FTP site affords would be a real vote winner down here
in Australia.  Thankyou for your time and the chance to voice another opinion.
