 Hello All,

[flame proof suit on, and renforced!]

 I cannot agree with the ideas listed above. I agree that there shouldn't be
a re-post every time somebody asks for a copy of a given file, that just 
happened to be distributed two weeks ago. What I don't agree with is that
ZOO should not be reposted, that is if we decide to use it as the NEW standard
for distributing files over the net. If everybody votes for ZOO, then that
creates a definate NEED for the accepted standard to be distributed!! I am
sure that a lot of people just ignored the ZOO postings in the past due to
the fact there was NO REAL NEED for it considering everything was being
distributed as an ARC file, but somthing tells me that is about to change.
Well that is my opinion, it it probably won't even get me a cup of coffee :-)
