I agree with the basic premise for being added to the ARPA mailing list,
but....
I don't know about the other groups, but there are three separate
'mailing lists' which are sort of like 'underground nets'.  Two
of these lists are moderated by people on subnets which are very
difficult to get mail into.  One of these is for developers, one
is for more technical information, and one is for sources, since
people have been flamed for posting sources on this group.  Several
net.micro.atari readers do not have access to net.sources and get
these via the 'mail-net'.  Ideally, all of this mailed information
should be posted to the net, but non-disclosure agreements and such
make it difficult to do so freely.  If at all possible, please pass
info via the net rather than by mail.  Does ARPA moderator forward
posted information on down the line and back up?

Also, stop flaming those who post source and uuencoded binaries to
this group.  There are at least a dozen people who have openly declared
that they do not have access to net.sources.  If someone wants to
forward sources to net.sources, that's ok, but many schools and businesses
restrict access to net.sources for a variety of very good reasons which
have nothing to do with access to ST source and binary code.

A good convention would be to have someone who has access to net.sources
forword to that group.  If you do not have access to net.sources and
need it posted to that group, request this in your posting.
