Well, I guess it's a matter of opinion about where is the more
appropriate place for windows binaries.  I gather that you are
suggesting that comp.binaries.ibm.pc is the best place, but there
are quite a few people who disagree.  I think c.b.i.p is too generalized,
and since there is only one section for MSwindows stuff,  I guess we'll put
them here.  If you don't like the clutter, then I suggest *YOU* do something
about it and get a comp.binaries.windows.ms started.  Whining isn't going to
solve the problem.  People will post binaries here as long as they don't see
a better place.  Let me tell you, no matter what *YOU* think, comp.binaries-
.ibm.pc isn't it.
