This is a "me too" vote in favor of NOT encoding sources (or posting
binaries) to net.micro.amiga.  Thus far, only human readable sources
have been posted here, which have been of benifit to many people (both
Amiga and non-Amiga owners).  I feel it would be most unfortunate if
this were to change, and this news.group were to end up like net/mod.mac...
or net.atari16 where all you see is BinHex or uuencoded stuff posted.
I'm sure there is alot of good stuff posted in these groups, but it is
of no value (to me) since I don't have the time to "decode" it all
and see what it is.
