Ahem...  I can see it now, hundreds of programs not posted for fear of
being ridiculed...

I feel this was a bit uncalled for.  Often people look at sources in
order to get ideas, not just to have a something they can run.  A kermit
source would be useful to discover the protocol without a lot of
research.  Often a poster may want feedback.  If people become
intimidated, programs may start being passed around person-to-person
instead of in the public domain.  (I may get burned for this, but I
that a lot of news and replies on the net are tending to get childish
and unprofessional lately)
