| Let's take a moment to consider the case of large and small postings.
| For large posting where even the source or binary by itself may require
| separate parts, they should be separated, and could even be in separate
| groups.  But a small utility with 1 or 2K of assembler source should be
| posted as a package.  I see no need to moderate the really small stuff
| (like a lot of Braner's postings), and the rapid feedback that we get
| with unmoderated postings is worthwhile.
| 
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is one advantage to posting small files to a moderated group,
I test everything before I post it and I uuencode it using a Dumas's
uuencode (which I will post as soon as the group is created)
Therefore if you get a binary off of comp.*.atari.st, you can be
sure that you can uudecode it and that it works as advertised.

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| I suggest that the moderated group handle all multipart postings and all
| those over a certain size (say 10K), and that anything smaller stay as
| is.  As for source, can the moderators include the language specs in the
| Subject line, so that we know whether it is a language that we can
| compile?
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
There will be a 'code' (which will be posted..) in the subject line
of each posting defining the filetype (source, binary, text) the
compiler used (if avail), and systems that it runs on (st520, st1040, 
monochrome, color or both) etc. for each file.
