From reading this net, my impression is that it serves a fairly large body of
users (whether that's good or bad depends on whether you're a backbone, I
suppose).  Granted, we aren't the mainstream of net, but then I'm not sure
what the mainstream is, or even whether there IS a mainstream.

Personally, I find the code that comes along it to be quite useful, and I DON'T
live in a big city with dozens of BBSs around.  Discussing programs seems to be
naturally connected to sharing them, somehow.

If it is truly intolerable for source code, not to mention executable code, to
be posted here, I very much hope that a "mod.sources.pc" AND (or) a
"mod.binary.pc", or whatever is acceptable, could be created to fill what I
think is a genuine and widespread need (well, desire then).  If I thought I was
going to be around long enough, I'd even volunteer to learn what being a
moderator means...
