Not disagree with your intent, but this round of flaming was a long time
ago and two changes have occured.  

	1)	net.sources.mac came into existence AFTER the postings.
	(Maybe even because of them).

	2)	Tom already apologized.

I do, however want to say that only 6 or 7 months ago the flaming was ALL
in the other direction when people were posting uuencoded binaries to
net.sources, and everyone told them to send them to individual groups.

Specifically, binaries for the IBM P.C. were directed to net.micro.pc and
tohexes for the mac to net.micro.mac.  Now the net.micro people want it
to go the other way.
