The creation of a RUSH category would diminish the credibility of c.b.i.p
in the following ways:

 - the reliability of the postings (bugs, copyrights, etc.)

 - increased bandwidth

 - blame for problems resulting from the above


There are two major areas of contention right now - the speed at which
binaries are posted and the order of posting (utilities vs. games, etc.)

The moderator (thanks for your contribution, Rahul) should clearly define
his intentions with regard to the above.  If his intentions do not reflect
the expectations of the majority, then volunteers who can do better should
take one step forward.
 
I personally appreciate the effort Rahul puts into this and know that I
couldn't do better (although I would like to see a *couple* more games now
and then :-).
 
Gary
