I also have been sending a version (slightly softened in tone) of Spaf's
form letter to net.sources abusers.  I've sent out a lot of copies in the
last two weeks!  For what it's worth, MoJo, keep it up.  Perhaps if we
could just get 10 or 20 or even 100 people to do likewise, net.sources
would get cleaned up.
