Personally, I like the simplicity of the idea posted by someone here
awhile back: create one newsgroup for truly PD stuff, and one for
shareware.  Sites that have a problem can subscribe to the PD one
only (or neither!).  I know that creating more newsgroups is a bit of
work for someone (I don't know who!), but it would be plain up front
what you would be getting when you capture binaries from PD or Shareware
newsgroups.

Rahul works too hard as it is.  He could pass the baton on to someone
else for one of the groups (I'd give him his choice).  I wouldn't be
surprised to see ASP members volunteer to moderate the shareware group...
