Thanks Jules,
good insight.
In retrospect, the classiccmp server already offers boatloads of ftp space
where new entries would more than likely be stored by the respective site
maintainers.
I think it would be best for the list to just offer a "90 day automatic
delete" ftp site, specifically to address the case where someone posts a
schematic, etc. to the list given that the list doesn't allow it (so that
people aren't forced to dload something they have no interest in). That way
every list member would be able to post a download address for something
mentioned in a post. If one of the many other sites out there (or on the
classiccmp server) want to archive that item before it's deleted, so much
the better.
