Huh?  No one moderates the binaries that are put into comp.os.os2, why
do we HAVE to have a moderator for a binaries group?

The main idea of creating a group for binaries is to separate out that
traffic.  I agree a moderator would be very nice, but why is it mandatory?
This is kind of like throwing the baby out with the bathwater...

If there are some "rules" about comp.binaries, I suggest someone start
a comp.os.os2.binaries or comp.os.os2.caveat-emptor.binaries...
