PLEASE POST WITH MODERATION! Told by whom (the unbiquitous "they" no doubt)? What happens if each of the 182 (185? whatever) persons who voted FOR comp.binaries posts 7 files in one day (perhaps "they" would get the idea that the newsgroup should have existed all along). It appears that aside from making it a little easier for a few people to recieve files, comp.binaries.apple2 buys little because it doesn't archive files. What do you get that wasn't obtainable from APPLE2-L (which DOES archive, but isn't easily reachable -- I AM exchanging mail with listserv's author about that by the way; someday APPLE2-L WILL be able to send files to any legal rfc822 address :)? Since APPLE2-L maintains an archive, all the more important for APPE2-L to receive copies of binaries.apple2 (and vice versa). Surely every newslist has SOMEONE who looks after it (even if benignly :-) as Brint Cooper does for info-apple). There needs to be a feed set up to APPLE2-L%BROWNVM.BITNET@mitvma.mit.edu. Also, I assume that like comp.sys.apple, comp.sys.mac, comp.sys.misc, comp.sys.ibm.pc, ad nausium, there is an arpanet somewhere? Anybody have that address?
