Roger, it would greatly help if all articles posted to the moderated groups were numbered sequentially and if, at regular, intervals, an index of the contents of past messages was posted. it, probably, would also be a good idea to include an address to which reports of missing and/or damaged articles should be sent, which could then be used to evaluate if a reposting of an article is justified/needed (I've often wondered if it is possible to limit distribution of such articles to the area were the propagation of a damaged article occured?). I know that you (Roger) are very busy and that adding sequence numbers would tax the limits of what additional work you are able to do - and I am not suggesting that you take on the additional work of following up reports of damaged articles. Rather I would like to suggest that adding the sequence numbers would make it feasable for some other net-person to rise up and volunteer to take on this service to the net. Sequence-numbers HAVE TO be assigned by the originator of the articles, so we need your cooperation on that one. Cheers, ---Werner PS: and, I guess, one should not post any articles talking about comp.binaries.mac without adding a thank-you note to Roger (and his gremlins); So...... THANK YOU, Roger .... for all your efforts on behalf of the net. -- --------------------> PREFERED-RETURN-ADDRESS-FOLLOWS <--------------------- (ARPA) werner@rascal.ics.utexas.edu (Internet: 128.83.144.1) (INTERNET) werner%rascal.ics.utexas.edu@cs.utexas.edu (UUCP) ..!utastro!werner or ..!uunet!rascal.ics.utexas.edu!werner
