I second that opinion. With MS-DOS, combined sources and binaries 
are posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc, as are binaries-only.
Sources-only get posted to comp.sources.misc.

I think OS/2 sources and binaries should be posted in a similar way:
sources to comp.sources.misc and binaries, possibly accompanied
by sources, to comp.binaries.os2
