Credit this idea to Peter da Silva. It might also be nice if there were a way to ping the root/postmaster/usenet address at the site of origin exactly once to remind the sysadmin that group alt.sources.d should be carried wherever alt.sources is. With no data, I can only envisage that part of the misplaced discussion traffic is originating at sites with no subscription to the discussion subgroup. Kent, the man from xanth.
