Have you asked those at your site why they are interested in net.sources.mac?   

My site is in the process of investigating the integration of the Macintosh 
into the UNIX environment, primarily as an intelligent, layering/windowing
user interface. The sources we have obtained from this group have been 
invaluable to this effort. 

This work is a direct result of managements interest in providing effective
productivity tools for their engineering staff. If my anyone were to 
arbitrarily remove the Mac groups from our site without first consulting
those who use the system to get their work done he would be out on the street
before we could get our hands on him.

Better check it out with your bosses.
