Agree, agree!  The interesting and useful thing about alt.sources over
comp.sources.unix and comp.sources.misc is that it is not moderated.

If it were moderated, hardly anybody would use it, because c.s.u and c.s.m
have better distribution.

If someone makes it moderated, I will create alt.sources.unmoderated or an
equivalent, which is perfectly within the charter of the alt hierarchy.
