There seems to be a bit of traffic here about the newsgroup
comp.binaries.mac. Here's what a grep on our news spool directory just
turned up:

28630:Subject: Posting Fractional Width Fkey to binaries
27 articles in the last week and a half is not overwhelming traffic, but
is it enough to justify creating comp.binaries.mac.d?
What do folks think? Should we make a formal Call For Discussion, or is
it not worth it?

Should we make a formal Call For Discussion, or is > it not worth it? Looking at the traffic, I don't think that it is a big enough problem to worry about. I would be more concerned with the 50 out of 690 (on my machine) articles that are crossposted between comp.sys.mac and comp.sys.mac.programmer. > 28136:Subject: Re: Priority scheme for comp.sys.mac.binaries? These 20 articles are a one-time uncommon type of flow, whcich does not really warrant a group being created. > 28503:Subject: Posting GIF Converter to comp.binaries.mac > 28630:Subject: Posting Fractional Width Fkey to binaries These articles are really not necessary at all. The posting will be seen when it arrives in comp.binaries.mac. The author probably wants to attract the comp.sys.mac attention, and therefore would not put it in comp.binaries.mac.d anyways. > 00000:Subject: I didn't get part 12 of 29 - please repost or mail it. This didn't show upin your grep, but is the biggest offender. I don't think that we could get them all out of comp.sys.mac. After all, you can get the missing/bad parts either by ftping sumex (and others), or by sending mail to the moderator, Roger Long and telling him of the problem. -- William C.
