because, as should be obvious to anyone with a FRAGMENT of intelligence
(this obviously excludes all you silly little traffic cops who keep
complaining monotonously) there are VERY FEW if ANY netizens who
read net.wanted.sources to see if there's anything they can give away!!!
(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.
