Mark,
  This sounds good, provided that the removal of net.sources.mac does
not proceed the creation of the moderated group. I would like to see the
moderated group *prove* that it will reach everyone before hacking off
n.s.m. 

  Thanks for putting the time in to see if the group was useful. I 
personally feel that n.s.m. and n.m.m are the best groups on the net, 
but then I *am* a mac owner. But, thanks for not killing a good thing 
just because of the volume.
