We  are  also  paying  to  get  comp.sources.*  via UUNET and I was also
unhappy   about   paying   for  something  which  should  have  gone  to
comp.binaries  and for which I have absolutely no use.  I appreciate the
work  the  moderator  is  doing, but I hope in the future he will accept
only source. 

BTW,  we  are VERY happy with the UUNET service.  I hope many sites will
subscribe  so  that  the service will survive.  It is the best hope many
remote  sites  have for getting news at a reasonable cost.  Remember, if
you don't support UUNET now, it may not be there when you need it. 

I guess I'm beginning to sound like a UUNET commercial?  :-)
