Correct.

Wrong. We always fix *SMALL* problems like wrong "Type:" lines, to long
filenames or missmatching filenames.
But if people don't read our instructions (IMHO it is impossible not to
see any hint how to get them) we sometimes delete their uploads. Yes,
this is hard. But my experiences tell me that this the only way to get
people to read our instructions. And you can't tell me that creating a
".readme" for AmiNet is that difficult.
