  Brad:  The majority of responses said "No shareware posting on the network".
Every sysadmin who identified themselves as a sysadmin said "no shareware
on  the network".  The second most popular view was "Post shareware to 
another group" -- 23 out of 40 said "post it to biz.shareware".  

  "..A good majority..." could lead people into believing that there was
substantial support for usenet on the network -- when the reading I made
from the  data was "2/3rds of the respondents either do not want shareware
on the network at all, or if it is allowed, do not want it in  the core
comp groups, but want it segragated to a biz or shareware heirarchy."
  80 out of 120 said that.
