One of the things I have noticed is that short source files that I would
post to a moderated group, I often post to the unmoderated discussion group
because there is such a delay in getting things through the cycle -- and
in the case of one moderated posting both I and the moderator (Rahul Dhesi)
were roundly flamed for a pair of minor (or major, if you are a net-wolf)
infractions.

Since the trash that befell us was just as bad as the mechanical nasty notes
that come back in response to non-source postings to alt.sources, I find the
current situation quite acceptable (I'd like to cut down on the nasty notes
and flames, but that might harass those few who really enjoy them).
