One of the real reasons why the external sites (including mine)
exist is because many members of SCEA/SCEE/SCEI cannot access each
other's sites.  I've mailed quite a few people asking them to kindly
send their programs over (thank you!).  If it were possible for all
of us to have access at one central point, that would help unite the
Yaroze community.  The newsgroups appears to be the only central
point of contact now, and this access issue is as old as I can
remember (at least since Feb.).

So, if we could solve the access problem, then yes, I agree 100% with
your comments.  The non-public stuff really should be kept non-public.
