I for one have to agree with Mr. Dickey.  It seems that for quite
a while (at least one month) there have been no new postings to
the comp.(src/bin).atari.st newsgroups.  If the newsgroup is 
moderated, as it has been recently, the same situation might occur.

It is unfair that anyone on the net must rely on a single person to
take care of all the postings.  It does seem fair, however, to set
down a few groundrules dealing with the situation.  For instance,
every program should be arced, and uuencoded.  The has been the
standard method in the past, and seems to work fairly well.  Another
rule might be that all software be fairly well tested before it is posted
as we don't want to fill up the groups with garbage.

Please enter my vote for comp.(src/bin).atari.st becoming unmoderated.
