I suggested this, and the comp moderators, with some justification I
might add, pointed out that this would double the load on the net. They
stated they will not accept anything that has been posted to:

	alt.sources.amiga
	comp.sys.amiga
	comp.sys.amiga.tech

I'm not convinced by this argument, since they have in the past broken
this rule... presumably depending on the quality of the software. But
it's there and it's their perogative to impose whatever restrictions
the like.

This is not to say you shouldn't send it to me, just warning you that
multiple submissions may cause problems.

On another track... does anyone in Europe get alt.anything?
