I wholeheartedly agree with the suggestion for a new newsgroup. As a
news administrator, I would like to be able to put the demo binaries on
a shorter expire fuse, they take up soooo much room. :-) Maybe it
would be possible for it to be moderated by the same person (Roger Long,
I think). It would then be possible, if time permitted, for the
moderator to redirect demos to the proper group if someone made a
mistake and posted to c.b.mac. :-)

If I hear enough back from folks, I will initiate the new newsgroup
procedure and see if it has enough merit to pass. If not, c'est la vi.
