[comp.sys.amiga] Comp.binaries.amiga and SHAR files

denbeste@bbn.com (Steven Den Beste) (05/08/89)

Do any of you remember the great moderator-drought of last year, when nothing
was getting through on comp.[sources|binaries].amiga for months at a time?

One reason was because the moderators got tired of spending large amounts of
their spare time, only to be greeted by bitching and moaning, not by gratitude.
Nothing turns off a volunteer faster than back-seat drivers.

With your complaining, you risk having Bob give up and quit. I'm sure the
temptation is strong anyway, since he recently moved and must have plenty to
keep him busy.

You guys don't know how good you've got it.

[And I don't quite understand why you can't unpack the SHAR on UNIX before you
download. ANSWER BY MAIL!]
