And that's OK, since there are some 200+ groups on usenet. But, this little sub-net, unix-pc.*, is entirely for folks who share a common interest. Therefore, when I see articles cross-posted within this very group, I find it annoying. I'm not trying to flame anybody, but merely to *humbly* suggest that (unless I'm wrong, and there are folks out there who read unix-pc.general but *not* unix-pc.uucp, etc) it would be more *elegant* to not cross-post *within* this little group. One other thought. Unix-pc.sources might be a good place to post sources, but it might be a good idea to see if somebody out there might want to actually moderate it. That way, we could have a central repository of information (somebody with the charisma of Rich $alz). Just a thought.
