Message-ID: <698@vortex.UUCP> Date: Thu, 27-Jun-85 15:28:13 EDT Article-I.D.: vortex.698 Posted: Thu Jun 27 15:28:13 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 29-Jun-85 00:34:27 EDT References: <619@terak.UUCP> Organization: Vortex Technology, Los Angeles Lines: 10 I see no point to a new group for such a purpose. First off, the name is misleading--by definition ALL postings to net.sources are supposed to be of public domain code--so having a net.source subgroup "pd" doesn't make much sense from a linguistic sense in any case and would just foster confusion. Since this "public domain Unix software catalog" would sort of be an index to net.sources in a way, I would urge that it be distributed through mod.sources or some other existing group. If not, a better name is certainly in order. --Lauren--
