5. Should I post a spreadsheet utility I just created/found? (comp.apps.spreadsheets)
Please, no. While it's nice that you want to share, posting files
is not the way to do it. Not everyone will want the file, and for
many people net access is too expensive to waste it this way.
If you have a web page, please put it on the web page, and post an
announcement to the group telling us where it is. Then not only
will people reading the group today have it, but people searching
archives of the group next month will be able to find it, too.
And only people who actually want it will pay for transmitting it.
If you don't have a web page, you may want to use one of the many
free web page services. Or possibly post a `space wanted' message
to the group, asking people who have web pages (e.g., collections
of spreadsheet utilities) if you can send it (once!) to them, and
they will let us know where to find it.
