A bad idea, IMHO.  I like MOST of the stuff that comes down the net, be it
a game or MSH or whatever.  If I don't like something, I don't have to save
it into a file, I just have to click on the "read next message" button, and
voila! it's gone.

But limiting comp.binaries.amiga to smaller programs or utilities only is
silly.  I downloaded MSH and the XSize thing, but I also wanted NetHack 3.0
and Empire.  If there's something you don't want, just ignore it.
