Great.  I'm happy for you.  I agree it's a greater waste of bandwidth
talking about it here.  Here are suggestions Jerry Penner and I have been
discussing in E-mail.

1.  If he doesn't have time to edit it, I'll edit it for him.  
2.  Shrinking.  If the size of a shrinkit archive is around the same size
as an average edited issue, then fine.  Post it as is to the binaries.

See, I'm not rotten, and I'm not saying this because I'm a sysop on a
competing system.  I'm just concerned about MY users on my system.  NEWS
on the systems I control isn't a high priority item -- when I run out of
disk space on a filesystem, something has to give and in our case here,
it's news.
