Don't get so defensive Peter ... I said nothing WRT the performance of the
alt.sources.amiga, other than to factually state that (without comment)
only one posting has been made there.

The point though is that the group's propagation throughout the net is
"questionable" ... many sites refuse to carry the alt.* subnet for whatever
reasons, as is their right.  I choose not to contribute to this fractionating
[is that a word ?] into the "haves" and "have-nots".  It's just that simple!
