     Not only are the technotes available for ftp, they are also posted to
mod.mac.binaries.  So, they ARE posted to USENET.

     That may depend on how you define "developer".  Most are probably not
full-time developers with products on or destined for the market.  One of the
neat features about computers, especially the Apple ][ series, is that users
can program the machine.  Therefore, many usenet users are apple ][ programmers.

     You and I are fortunate to have ARPA access.  There are many more users
on usenet that don't have ARPA access.  It's not that we would be
inconveniencing the usenet user; we would be excluding him/her.  I think the
tech notes should be posted somewhere, either here or in a new, moderated
newsgroup.
