I've heard this so many times I'm almost beginning to believe it is true.
My sys file currently says:

SOURCES:net.sources,!net.sources.all::/usr/lib/news/sfar net.sources
SOURCES:net.sources.bugs::/usr/lib/news/sfar net.sources.bugs

Voila...'net.sources.bugs' articles don't get into my 'net.sources'
archive.  Am I missing something on this issue, or is the answer as
easy as this?

In chuq's original message he suggested that one of the moderater's
responsibilities should be to compile an index.  An index would also be
a good idea for net.sources, *especially* if the index contained the
Message-ID's of the extraneous discussion articles in a format so that I
can automatically zap them from my archive.  If anybody is interested,
I suppose I could volunteer to make such an index.
