While I'm in favor of passing Apple public domain and shareware software
through the mail chains, I'm not enthusiastic about polluting the current
info-apple feed.  After all, this is "info-apple" and not "programs-apple".
For those who may not want to participate in distributing software, but still
want to be part of the information forum, I suggest that we create a second
and separate feed for transferring Apple software, documentation for that
software, and any other related notes.

A rash of HUGE uploads into the existing feed could hurt a lot of small
systems that are low on disk space.  Giving them an option to subscribe to a
feed which would require more storage space, more time tied up in transfers,
etc., would be a good idea in my oppinion.
