comp.sources.d is not moderated to my knowledge. comp.sources.unix and
comp.sources.misc are. comp.sources.wanted is not. Please get the information
right!

I don't know what kind of time you have to evaulate sources sent over
the net. You must have much more than I do. I have megabytes of net.sources
that are waiting for spare time to be evaulated. Generally, I try the
mod.sources stuff first and most of the time (>90%) it works. I cannot
say that about net.sources stuff.

Also, you say nothing about the mod.sources archive services. I guess that
is an unimportant service offered by the moderator.
