I just got caught up on all the stuff which came into net.sources.  Boy, it
sure is a lot of crap!  And to think, I'm chewing up so much diskspace
trying to archive this stuff.  Egads!

Well, then allow me to propose *the solution* to the net.sources
problem.  It's a radical one, so everybody hold onto your hats...  Why
not use a moderated newsgroup for sources?

It seems silly to have hundreds of people throughout the world spending
hours weeding out their net.sources archives when we already have
one kind person (yay for john@genrad) who has volunteered to do the job
for us.  I'd like to get a consensus among the net:

    O  people who have a good program will send it to mod.sources
    O  people will stop archiving net.sources and do only mod.soures

If you want to send me a vote great.  If I can announce to the net that
mod.sources is the way to reach people, then we should start seeing
sources go there.  If you want to flame about moderators, facism (sp?)
and censorship, then send me mail.  Please don't subject the rest of
the world to it.  (I'll even tally up those comments too.)

Please, if you would like to see all the archive quality sources going to
mod.sources then press that 'r' key.
