It really doesn't matter to me how people post, I never knew there was
an issue with Macs n RaR's, but I'm glad there's a fix. If you put
every set in it's own folder, it is a lot easier to just bundle a
bunch of sets together.
I probably won't post rars all the time, but for large posts they're
the only way to go.
