- Completely agreed. Nearly everyone has ftp-access nowadays (right?) so
- sending binaries to all the sites is hardly defendable IMO.
- Probably the sources-newsgroup can be deleted too -- the occasional sources
- that are made available could be sent to c.s.a.st or ...tech Would
- raise the S/N level in c.s.a.st at least...
- And now we're at it: how about a group comp.sys.atari.flames ??? So we
- can get back to the regular interesting stuff in c.s.a.st...
