I cannot agree more. As proof, I will show you how I disagree with
most of the other things you said.

I don't see any problem with the current method. I would prefer
MacWrite format to text format. That way it's easier to format the thing
and include pictures to augment the text.

Oh, really? How? A Pack-it'ed file is as large as all of it's
constituent parts. Transfer time will be about the same. Printing time
better be the same also.

No way.

I would rather leave it open to everyone, not just the 512K snobs.
One also must remember the 32K (or is it 64K?) limit on posting files to
USENET.
