[comp.sys.atari.st] Negative responses to PD postings

Even though I have received -ve responses about posting PD codes on the NET,
I still contend that it is worth it to buy from places like Accusoft. When
I spend $2.75/disk, I am not buying the PD software but the service of compiling
codes on disks (like various term ermulators on one disk). I have been
preparing my own PD library for local use and its ONE HELL OF A JOB assembling
PD disks (mine I assemble for FREE distribution). However, our local UG has
found that Accusoft, Current Notes and BRE are invaluable sources of PD
libraries (we also buy from the NCAUG in Ottawa). We pay for someone's time
in doing the dirty work, NOT FOR THE CODES. I would hate to see
these services disappear.
