	comp.binaries.ibm.pc ran for a long time unmoderated.
	It became moderated only when the volume started to run
	too high for some sites. It doesn't seem like
	comp.binaries.os2 would be too high volume initially.
	What about running it unmoderated to start out with
	until a moderator is found? It beats posting binaries
	to comp.os.os2.
