As long as we're expressing our opinions.....

I for one am very impressed with Tad's efforts in binaries & sources.

***Three cheers for Tad****

I say (my opinion) keep it coming!  I've been quite happy to see
(especially) the large postings (uucp 1.3D etc.).

I realize for folks with a 12/2400 baud feed that the larger postings
are tying up their lines for quite a while, BUT, I'd hate to see the traffic
on bins & srcs truncated.  We just got them flowing again! 

It's REALLY good to see the volume right about where it's at.

What's killing me is the volume posted to c.s.a, c.s.a.t & c.s.a.h.  It's
getting REAL hard to stay current.  If I don't spend a half hour to an
hour reading everyday I get behind several hundred articles.  The 'k' key
gets used an awfull lot. Not really complaining, I'm kinda proud that we
use the most popular, highest volume news groups on the whole damn net.
