Not one to do any "Rahul-Bashing" but I think that he needs to do something
about the "moderation" of comp.binaries.ibm.pc.  It seems that I am not the
only one who is less than satisfied with his performance lately, and instead of
bitching about it I propose that some of the other BITNET sites become
additional moderation sites.  Granted, I am a complete novice when it comes to
BITNET stuff, but it seems that the only way to alleviate the posting of
programs to comp.sys.ibm.pc is to split up the workload.

Basically, my suggestion is to add moderators in various catagories:

games
graphic programs (GIF and the like)
documents (very general; needs to be more defined)
utilities (general; could be split up even more)
source code (pascal,C, etc.)

I'm not a mind-reader here, but it seems people are posting programs to
comp.sys.ibm.pc because they don't see them in the binaries group. Come on
guys! Rahul can't do it all at by himself.

If anyone out there has any opinion on this subject at all, send me mail.  I
will try and keep track of the response, and publish the results.  Add more
moderators? Yes or no
