The vast majority of material coming over the wires is useful for one of the main reasons for the existence of Usenet namely EDUCATION. A few people are using it to their own apparent financial advantage and should be made aware of the danger to the MAC groups this causes. Come on guys. This group and its associated group net.micro.mac is one of the "Lights of my life" and I am sure that I am not alone. PLEASE don't spoil the fun for a few measly dollars. Please post more source and more examples. In my own turn I hope to do the same when I feel that it is a genuine contribution and IT WILL NOT BE SHAREWARE but simply shared! -- david ...
