This would really be great.  I understand the problems with delays are the
result of limitations at Purdue, not the moderators.  They are trying to do
the best job they can within the limits of their system but I think we need
someone who can get source out to the net quicker.  I hope the current
moderators agree.

If you can handle comp.binaries.amiga that's fine.  However, I don't
consider binaries nearly as important as source.  You can't learn anything
about programming the Amiga from binaries.

That should really speed things up.  I think it would solve the problem
with propagation of source.
