[comp.binaries.ibm.pc] where's the moderator?!?

davidg@janus.uucp (David Gaertner) (01/23/88)

Sorry to flame, but isn't this group supposed to have a moderator?  Why
is this group filled with garbage articles like requests for reposts
and questions about arc and uudecode?  Questions about an article
should be addressed to its author via e-mail, not more news articles.
And other questions belong in comp.sys.ibm.pc.

Network administrators complain enought about comp.binaries.*
newsgroups already, because of the sizes of the articles.  So let's try
to cut the junk in this newsgroup.  Let's not give them a another
reason to cancel comp.binaries.ibm.pc.

Please, if you want to respond, mail responses to me, or post them to
comp.sys.ibm.pc or some other place, but not here.

I agree 100%. Comp.binaries.ibm.pc should include just that - binaries.
Requests, discussions and problems should be put anywhere *but* this
group.  When I see '80 articles in comp.binaries.ibm.pc',I tend to
expect 80 binary files.  Such was not my luck.

And if you do feel the urge to flame David in e-mail, throw some heat my
way because he's not the only that feels this way.
