I agree with Lauren. I sometimes think that maybe mod.sources should
be for the large postings (say, oh, bigger than 1 piece)... is there
anyone there with a guideline for it?

also, is there anyone out there with some disk space willing to
catalogue {net,mod}.sources for people to get later? Someone on ARPA
with an anonymous FTP or something? Maybe this exists, but it'd be
nice to be able to get to the public domain stuff that's out there
without saving it the first time it goes by. A lot of times I wind
up saving copies of stuff I don't need just because I say "hey, if
in a few months I *do* need this, it's gonna be tough finding it..."
