You'd think that this would be a | sources only group. But no, for lack of a better place, the moderator | accepts MSDOS BINARIES. These belong in a separate group, so that | paying sites don't have to pay for stuff they don't want. +--------------- There has never been enough support for a PC binary group (I should know; my name was in the hat for moderating comp.sources.misc because I had volun- teered to moderate the last time a PC binary group was considered). However, I agree that binaries don't belong in .misc; since my whiskers are now a trifle longer due to my being a moderator, I newgroup'ed comp.binaries.ibm.pc a few days ago. (There may still not be enough volume. Is it worth it to start a new newsgroup if it only gets one article per month? I think not.) ++Brandon -- Copyright (C) 1987 Brandon S. Allbery.
