	As a Usenet site with no connections to the ARPA net I have
been drooling over some of the teasers we've gotten in the form of
SIMTEL20 lists.  I requested info from the net regarding existence
of a CP/M BBS in the Maryland area and got no responses.  So I vote
for posting to the net.  However...as a site that pays our own phone
bills from contracts and grants I would like to see it be a moderated
group (say mod.source.cpm) with some reasonable form of archiving.
That might prevent the usual 'I didn't get whizbang...could someone
repost it?'  Perhaps a list of what's available could be kept and
mail to the list maintainer would bounce the list back.  Then
requests for something archived could be mailed to the moderator.
I bet if we thought about it for a bit we could come up with a decent
method of automatically mailing out the requested software.

	So there's my two cents worth.  Not having connections
to the other nets I can't respond to the other concerns that were
raised.  My only concern is that we not raise the ire of the net
any more than it already is due to increased volume (see what's
been happening in net.adm etc).

	I'm glad to see that CP/M lives!
