post the darn things....

I can't believe that a few HOWTOs that are small in size for USENET in 
general will hurt anybody at all.  I also get comments each time they're
posted.  In the 2 years or so mine have been in c.o.l.*, I've received
lots of mail about them, but there have been zero complaints at all.
