HEAR! HEAR! I couldn't agree more.

Let me suggest one more thing, however: since no breakdown of
net.sources will ever be seen as completely rational or will ever be
completely transparent, an additional group called ...

		---> net.sources.announce <---

... which contains synopses of postings to all net.sources subgroups
is needed. Ideally, this would be automatic: the title of any
net.sources.* posting would go into net.sources.announce.
