YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE!!!!!) to (WWWHHIMMmmmper.... PLEEEEEzze don't, honorable Sir...) I am now fully awake and no longer bored and would like to propose the creation of: (TA-DAAAAHHHH!!!) NET.ARCHIVE!!!!!!!! for all the scrambling silly little nerdware collectors out there... (In any case, it escapes me why net.sources should exist ONLY for nerdware collectors, and why EVERYBODY ELSE should just get OFF!!) Then, we can DELETE net.wanted.sources, and let everybody post their wants to net.sources along with the source-posters, and the comment-posters, and commentators, etc... This, of course, would make it incumbent upon people posting sources to post them to TWO newsgroups, which would probably be cause for Did-I-Miss-Something paranoia among the nerdware collectors, but there's probably a better chance that whoever is trying to give something away will post it all over the place, than there is that they will read net.wanted.sources over and over looking for someone to give it to. Of course, this will frustrate all the traffic cops, as they will have one less law to attempt to enforce, but... sigh... I'm sure they'll think of something (if they live long enough) - FURTHERLESS - it occurs to me that some pencil-neck with nothing better to do should be able to hatch some sort of indexing scheme for a net.archive so the nerdware collectors could REALLY go wild, and write SPECIAL magtapes with INDEXES at the front CROSS-REFERENCED by subject, author, date, version, charm, strangeness, color, etc... in FACT - maybe ein SCHTANDART could be sett up mit vhich, ve vill enKODE der ZOURCES fur der net.ARKIVE, und, if die artikles ist geposten mitout das enkoden, ve vill mit ein automatischenprocessen deleten zie!!! HEIL!!! /o / ># | o Wank, wank, wank...
