Perhaps net.sources should be a moderated newsgroup.  It is not like some
of the other newsgroups where immediate responses are important.  This way
we can weed out inappropriate messages, and have a single address where
users can send mail asking for a repost or a mail copy of a munged program!

I would also like to see net.sources.bugs (or net.bugs.sources) where
bugs in net-distributed software could be sent.  This should also be
moderated by someone willing to apply the fixes and verify that they
work (or at least that the changes are appropriate and in a usable
format).

I'd be willing to moderate such a group, but I have no idea how it is
done, and I am not a system administrator, either.  Also, it would be
better if the administrator was on an ARPA site, to handle the requests
that come from non-usenet sites.
