None of this matters. If Tad is uncomfortable with ANY uploads, for ANY 
reason, and asks the net to refrain from uploading certain files we
should do as he asks. He is devoting his time at no cost, and doing the
Amiga netters a great service. To complain about a request from him is
about the same as gripping about your presents Christmas morning. Many 
is the time I felt like it was Christmas as I downloaded a great utility
or game from abcfd20. Hats off to Tad and lets honor his request.
