Why don't people get mod.sources?  If net.sources is justifiable,
mod.sources certainly is 10 times more so.  (And no, I am not the
moderator -- John Nelson is.)

Keep in mind, the people who are complaining the most are those who
remember when net.sources was worth archiving.  It is not now because it
is mostly filled with "wanted" requests and repostings.  When the requests
outnumber the sources posted (which they have) the group becomes unusable.

By the way, mod.sources (and for goodness sakes have mod.sources sent
to you instead of net.sources if there is a problem with getting both)
is reviewed for non-sources, repetition (such as 35 different ways to
lock your terminal without logging out -- the easiest way), and --
possibly -- blatent stealing of source code.  Not for style, etc.
Egos will be protected.  I am sure Mr. Nelson is very sensitive.
