- It's funny how the PC world (and their corresponding comp.binaries.* groups)
- is able to maintain one of the *best* newsgroups on the net, *without*
- a reviewing process. Yet, the UNIX world can't even get software
- posted with *TWO* distribution groups (c.s.u and c.s.r) on their own
- original UNIX based network.
