- I suppose he wouldn't be concerned to have thousands of them, as likely
- he could give up his job then and do it as a full-time job :-)

- Peter, are you really reading the 'Readme's on every disk ? I must
- appreciate, that i haven't read the readme's since long ago. I always
- thought they won't change anymore and that they are only interesting
- for newbies and for the standard disclaimer, which must be included.
- Ami the only one, not reading 'Readme's ? (I know, RTFM could be a nice
- thing ... :)
-
- I don't think this would be a good idea.
- Isn't it better to include that 'need more' in the 'Contents File', Fred
- is posting regulary ? This would inform most fans on the Networks, ie.
- SysOps, User-Groups and such.
