If comp.sources isn't available I would expect a lot of source to be posted to inappropriate (and probably multiple) groups. This also makes it hard to get the source to the people who might be interested. I would have never gotten the phase-of-the-moon program I have if it was posted to an astronomy group. --- Tom. T.W.
