Why don't you just create an alt.binaries.ibm.pc?  You might even get someone
to post to it. :-)  As for 2 binary groups in the main hierarchy, I doubt that
you will get that approved.  Too many poeple think binaries are a waste of time
to begin with, let alone having all the binaries posted twice. Personally, I
think Rahul is doing a GREAT job, and don't see the need for any more groups.
I am just happy that the binaries get here at all, I don't care if they take
a few days extra.
