- Great. I'm happy for you. I agree it's a greater waste of bandwidth
- talking about it here. Here are suggestions Jerry Penner and I have been
- discussing in E-mail.
-
- 1. If he doesn't have time to edit it, I'll edit it for him.
- 2. Shrinking. If the size of a shrinkit archive is around the same size
- as an average edited issue, then fine. Post it as is to the binaries.
-
- See, I'm not rotten, and I'm not saying this because I'm a sysop on a
- competing system. I'm just concerned about MY users on my system. NEWS
- on the systems I control isn't a high priority item -- when I run out of
- disk space on a filesystem, something has to give and in our case here,
- it's news.
