I fully agree here. I've convereted most of them myself if the author isn't
around anymore- I can upload them.

That's rather opinionated. I know several people who use them.

Large ones or ones that arn't that interesting or show something special
should be shared elsewhere. To me these are usless and I think of them
as personal files- who wants to see Joe Schmoe beat John Doe 21-3 ? Not
I- then again, I see a LOT of deathmatches.

I have mixed views on this too.

Well I can only speak for myself, but I'd MUCH rather see all the 1 monster
graphics PWAD's combined into one large one. I'd also rather EVERYTHING was
released as PWADS- I for one will NEVER run something that modifies my DOOM.WAD
file directly! And as for that rip-off.wad, I think it's great and should
be released as it is! Now, combining WAD levels is anotehr story. Unless
there is a special theme (like the best deathmatches added together and
exits inserted or such) there isn't much need for them. COMBO's are redundent
since many wad managers can do the same thing dynamically.
Just my $0.02,
James
