Bill -
	You (and many others from their comments) have gotten in on
the middle of a discussion not understanding what went on before.  The
original posting refers to the group for binaries and this group was
given a cross-posting for all those who subscribe here, but not to binaries.
There was a month long "voting" process which "elected" Harry.  The comments
about discussion were specifically meant for the binaries group.  (notice
the moderator title specifically and only says "comp.binaries.ibm.pc").
