I assume you mean people like me.
In the last year he's posted about 40-50 software packages accounting for
about 7 megabytes of compressed archives (based upon a du of my archive
directories). Many of these packages are extremely useful (perl, nn
gawk, sc, flex, vixie-cron, and others). I wouldn't call that next to
worthless.
I admit that it would be nice if things could be sped up but I'm not
terribly worried. I don't need to get a fix on new sources every
week. I have real work to do and usenet itself is enough of a
distraction as it is.
