Perhaps keeping comp.os.minix for discussion and arguments :-), and a new
comp.sources.minix for sources to be posted in?  Discussion, please,
everyone - is this a) a good idea; b) a great idea; c) a waste of time
and net resources; or d) a crock.  I'd like to be able to read about
Minix without wading through sources all the time, and to be able to
archive sources without wading through irrelevant discussion.

Except all the humongous programs use ST owners can create, since we
don't have segments!  I hope this doesn't become a problem, but I
wouldn't let it stop me from completing a program if there is a reason
for not breaking it up.
