folks,

  some of us are glad that all of the sources groups are moderated.
  it was getting so that net.sources was a perfect waste of time.  it
  wasn't anything more than comp.sources.d.  

  now, we can read the discussions, announcements, and so on, in
  comp.sources.d.  then, when we want to get our sources, we move over
  to the moderated sources groups where the subject line and the
  initial contents of the article will really tell us what the sources
  are.

  moderated groups help eliminate duplication, noise, and provide for
  the archival of sources.

  why is it such a big deal that your sources go through a moderator?
  whether your sources take a couple days to a couple of weeks to get
  out to the net can't be that much of a hardship.

  if you are still interested in the noise that net.sources provides,
  please subscribe to the mailing list unix-sources.  requests can be
  sent to unix-sources-request@brl.arpa.  other mailing lists can be
  found in the newsgroup news.announce.newusers.

  our moderators save us a lot of reading time; please leave our
  moderated groups alone.
