If we're taking a vote, I vote to ban distributions to INFO-VAX of
programs.  It seems to me that donors of such programs could post info
on them and ofter to mail them to THOSE PEOPLE WHO WANT THEM.  As it is,
most of the INFO-VAX postings are not of interest to me, and therefore
mailbox-clutter (but it's more than worth the time going through them
for the few things that do interest me) so I'd really prefer to spare my
disk, the necessity of dealing with these long programs.

In fact, has anyone ever considered breaking INFO-VAX up into different
subjects: INFO-VMS, INFOVAX-UNIX, INFO-VAX-HARDWARE and such? (And
maybe a separate PLEASE-ADD-ME-TO-A-MAILING-LIST)
