GTHEALL@PENNDRLN.BITNET (George A. Theall) (09/21/88)
Before I cast my vote for net postings, can anyone give a breakdown of how many subscribers to IDM there are by network? And by country? I've seen postings from Finland and Australia. Overseas links are generally expensive. If users there aren't interested in most of the posted binaries, perhaps it should not be done. With access to the ARPA Internet I won't be too inconvenienced having to FTP interesting programs, although at the same time, extra files in my mailbox/reader are not a big deal for me (we won't say anything to the systems admin people here, though:-). So, let's see a breakdown of subscribers.
