In all of the *moderated* comp.sources groups to which I subscribe,
the moderator periodically posts information regarding submissions and
archive sites.  I have found a number of archive servers in this
manner without difficulty.

However, if others perceive a need for a specific place to post this
information, such as for *unmoderated* groups, I would not object and
would cast a "yes" vote, as these archive sites provide a very useful
service to the net.
