alt.sources is 20% noise, 25% flames about the noise but, overall,
a very good source of source (of course).  A great deal of odd and
usefull things appear there.  It is the Great Alpha Test dumping ground.
It is essentially a comp.sources.unmoderated (uh oh, no flames, CFD, BVD
please).  I think you'll like it.
