I realise that there might well be a lot more people who can use binaries
than sources, however we (yes, an editorial we) believe that the purpose
of usenet is to support: first, UNIX programmers and users; second, programmers
of other species of operating system; and third, everyone else.

Over in news.admin, Chuq is asking that all comp.sources be deleted except for
comp.sources.unix. That is, he's advocating the reduction of Usenet to the
first group only. I think that throwing the third group to the wolves first
might save our skins.

Again. Usenet is not a BBS. Usenet is a resource for programmers. Let's
not lose sight of that.

On the plus side, comp.*.amiga was a lot further down in the top-40 this
time around...
