Message-ID: <758@sfmag.UUCP> Date: Thu, 31-Oct-85 12:34:48 EST Article-I.D.: sfmag.758 Posted: Thu Oct 31 12:34:48 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 2-Nov-85 04:42:55 EST References: <245@mit-eddie.UUCP> Organization: AT&T Information Systems, Summit, NJ Lines: 14 Xref: watmath net.news.group:4128 net.sources:3761 I agree with the proposal to turn net.sources* into mod.sources*. At the very least this will provide some of the control needed to prevent the needless duplication of requests and the costs incurred from shipping huge pieces of code that may not be of interest to everyone all over the net. I'm not sure what the best solution is as far as the content of the moderated group should be: I could see how only requests for source and announcements of availability might be allowed, with arrangements having to be made off the net for the source to be sent to people who want it. On the other hand, posting of sources that would be of use to many (determined by some procedure-- exactly what, I'm not sure) might also be allowed. Any thoughts? Mark Modig ihnp4!sfmag!mom
