(If your self-image of charitability has been damaged, you may now wail indignantly.) Therefore, the probability of whoever has GOT a source that you're looking for seeing your request on net.wanted.sources or is *** VANISHINGLY *** small... since if they have the what you want, they have to be a net reader (excludes everybody that does useful work) and they have to read net.sources (excludes an additional segment) and they have to be looking to give something away (excludes 99.44% of humanity)... In FACT, you're damned lucky if somebody that's GOT a source that you want, even reads THIS newsgroup, since most people that read THIS newsgroup are (again!) reading it because they WANT something, not because they have something to offer. I hope I get some good flames out of this. I'm really sleepy and bored.
