When you can do something to keep the irrelevant postings out of alt.sources
in the first place, then you've gone a long way to keeping the irrelevant
followups out as well.  I hate to keep saying this over and over, but not
everyone that reads about sending Chris another postcard is going to read
the article telling him or her not to over in some other newsgroup.  If you
want to point out that some posting was really way off, where is the best
place to do it?  In a different newsgroup?

In any case, who are =you= (That's Tom in case you can't figure it out) to
decide what is relevant and what isn't?  If you wish to be the moderator,
call a vote and be the moderator.  Since you stated that you don't want to
be the moderator, stop trying to moderate the group.
