You folks are either missing or ignoring an important point. Mac tech
notes are not posted to the net. They are put in the directory at Sumex-Aim,
where they are available to anyone who wants them without clogging the
nets up with a substantial amount of needless text.  I am receiving them,
even though I don't want them; this is therefore unwanted traffic on the
nets and unwanted junk in my mail file and disk space allotment here. But
if I don't want to receive them, I'd have to leave the Info-Apple mailing
list.

Are the people who voted to send the tech notes out on the nets to
everyone actually developers? Or is it just curiosity that'll fade
after a week or two? Is their interest so urgent that they can't
take the time to FTP them from a directory?

Bob
