Perhaps it's time for a comp.sources.minix? Another unmoderated Minix group just for sources wouldn't be of that much help; there will always be "noise" on unmoderated sources groups (remember net.sources? See Also alt.sources for a current example). This gets hashed over every few months, and nothing ever changes. Maybe it's best that way. A moderator would just add a time lag to postings. So who wants a moderator? I could probably do the job with the current volume that has been coming thru (i.e. a trickle), and I've been doing essentially the same thing with the listserv archive. -- Glen Overby uunet!ndsuvax!ncoverby (UUCP) ncoverby@ndsuvax (Bitnet)
