- Which MS-DOS binaries group are you looking at? The one I'm watching has
- plenty of stuff in it. I find the moderation to be a seriously Good Thing, and
- can't understand why you're so avidly seeking the group you'll get without
- moderation: full of non-binaries, and those that are there are barely tested
- and quite possibly full of viruses. You need look no farther than alt.sources
- to bear the former out, and what better distribution channel than Usenet for a
- brand new virus?
