Wouldn't this problem be solved if Peter moderated comp.sources.amiga and
the current moderators at Purdue maintained the archives?  It might be
desirable to have a method for getting the sources directly to Purdue so
they won't have the problem you discussed.

Would you care who did the moderating so long as the archives were
available to you?  I recognize you might be concerned that some things
posted to the newsgroup might not make it into the archives if they are in
different places.  However, I don't think that's too difficult a problem to
overcome.  Surely Peter and Craig can come up with a reliable system for
handling the archives.
