I didn't go check, but if PKARC isn't available right now for me to download, that's a fairly silly way to run a file exchange. Maybe you should have just suggested to the former writer, and anyone who feels the same way that they just download PKARC first. If it isn't available, then I have to agree with Josh Diamond. New users join the net, and the newsgroup everyday, right? I'd sure like a little consideration be given them.
