personally, i find keith's postings on how to access the simtel20 some of the most informative there are in c.b.i.p. (keyword here is informative) as for the postings regarding simtel20 uploads: i peruse them, and that's that, no big deal (much more worthwhile that reading the constant flaming that drivels from a few individuals who have nothing better to do) the upload postings also prevent me from having to constantly access simtel20 to get the most recent index (and subsequently, i'm sure, saves some wear and tear on the simtel20 machine) now for some real soapboxing: it's true most of us would rather see something besides games on c.b.i.p. so instead of writting a flame write a program and submit it one must remember that the programs that come over the net are "free", no one owes you anything if it is costing _you_ something for the feed, and you're that disenchanted, disconnect the feed - we won't miss you (yes, yes, it's true this posting is exactly what i am complaining about, articles with no information, just yammering would this article have appeared if it weren't for other people's constant whining?) so, next time you feel the need to flame c.b.i.p. do us all a favor and just push u (unsubscribe) instead of p (post)
