I think a new newsgroup (i.e. comp.sys.apple.binaries or whatever) is
reasonable.  Both the Mac and IBM world have binary groups, and there is
certainly enough market for Apple 2 sources, as the last few messages indicate.
That way, sources and the annoying messages about how to get on LISTSERV
wont clog this newsgroup, and those who want sources have ready availability
on UUCP.

Well, if anybodys taking votes, heres one vote for a new newsgroup!
