In regard to Larry Virden's comments on the readership survey, I doubt most of
the Proline sites carrying comp.sys.apple2 get the survey, let alone respond. 
And that's a lot of people reading and responding to this newsgroup.

I'd like to see the source files posted to their own group, if only to lower
the bandwidth on the binaries.  I'm not a C or Pascal programmer and could
care less about the source code or libraries, etc.  By removing sources from
binaries and putting them in their own group, I won't tie my system up
receiving them.

As it is, the only way I can carry binaries is through a local tie in to the
newsfeeds that took several months and a lot of cooperation from the sysop to
establish. Prior to that, I had to get them via long distance phone; and some
times the transfer time would be over an hour per connection!  Many times what
was received was garbage and had been previously posted or obtained via other
methods.  I digress, but I guess that leads towards the suggestion that
comp.binaries.apple2 become a moderated group so "we" can control what is
posted. (standing by for flames!)
