I agree in principle.  I'm tired of seeing repostings and requests for
repostings of large, programs.  But I would hope that "netiquette" 
rather than rules would control repostings.  If you missed a biggie,
and don't know who posted it, ask whoever to contact you E-Mail.
Then you can arrange for E-mail of, or direct USnail (via SASE) of
your program.  USnail may be slow, but it often beats files having to
withstand the ravages of pasting together, en- & de- coding, arc- and
unarc- ing.
