I would prefer a separate group for .DAT files (except, note, you are
already breaking your rule about no images anywhere by doing this)
Then I could continue to read lugnet.cad without having to worry about
skipping over files with long strings of random text that does not
make a bit of sense to me :)
I would definitely ask that these not be placed in lugnet.publish.
Why? Selfish reasons. I could get rid of lugnet.cad pretty easy from
my list of groups read but I would really rather not have to get rid
of lugnet.publish because it is more likely to have things I am
interested in reading. But if it were swamped with .dat files than I
would feel it necessary to do so because I don't use LCAd or LDLite
or whatever it is these go to.
