[I think the best thing to do for now is to table the discussion.  The
various flaps in net.news.group currently make it unreadable, and no
new groups can be created without discussion there.  When it dies down,
*then* back to business as usual.]

Until then, I suggest that Amiga sources be posted to net.sources.
No binaries should be posted as this could incite rioting.

One or two people have posted messages saying "Please post both source
and binary because I'm too cheap to buy a compiler".  I don't think we
should spend our net bandwidth on them.  You can buy a whole developers kit
for $450.  If you can't afford $450 of software for your $2500 machine,
why didn't you buy a $1500 machine and enough s/w to be useful?

Also, net.sources *is* forwarded to the Arpanet.  Here's an excerpt from
the latest Arpanet mailing-lists list:

UNIX-SOURCES@BRL

   ARPANET/MilNet gateway for distribution of the "UUCP net" Unix net.sources 
   newslist.  Only ONE person at a site should subscribe, since articles tend 
   to be rather long.

   All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, 
   etc., should be sent to UNIX-SOURCES-REQUEST@BRL.
