Is a sources-only alt.sources worth one day's delay? Ok. Could you also forward the non-source messages to alt.sources.d, to avoid trashing them altogether ? Most people posting to alt.sources just don't know that there is an alt.sources.d, and they should not be punished by having their messages go to /dev/null... Btw, I think that sending harassing messages to people who mistakenly send messages to alt.sources is no solution. I've not asked anyone to become my net.police, and I'm not either asking for volunteers... specially if these self-appointed flamers fry me by misteak (sic) for messages that have gone to alt.sources.d, as they should ! I can hardly think of worse waste of net bandwidth (this message is of course 2nd on the list). -- * * * Otto J.
