I think this is partly a good idea, but people should *not* post
binaries to the apps group. Far better to post URLs of ftp sites
where the program can be found. Many people pay for their news
access, and can't afford to have people posting binaries to
non-binaries newsgroups. Newsgroups for posting binaries really
should have 'binaries' in the name.
