Thank you!  I think I will!

I believe this statement to be completely accurate.  Someone has to use some
judgement in what gets posted and how much gets posted "all at once".  Having
archives for the group is a *big* help in eliminating needs for multiple copies
getting posted.  If the group becomes a "free-for-all" once again, I
will stop carrying it.  I suspect that most major sites other than uunet
will stop carrying it as well.

I'd rather get good stuff on comp.binaries.ibm.pc.  I'd rather pay Compuserve
for good stuff than pay for crap in comp.binaries.ibm.pc.
