     YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!

     I totaly agree with Mr. Kovar's sentiments.  It is most annoying
to wait for the 12 part piece of demo/crippleware to pass by and
something interesting to come along.  I would even go so far as to
suggest a new group altogether.  Something like
comp.binaries.mac.demos so that I can unsubscribe to the newsgroup.
After all, the corporations are not paying for this net are they ?  So
why should they be allowed to sell their stuff through it !?!?
