Ok, I've put up with imbecile's like this guy long enough.  If you people
would pay attention to the announcements about new newsgroups you would
realize that the ONLY moderation of comp.sources.misc is to redirect any
discussions, bugs, etc... to their apropriate newsgroups.  If you post
SOURCES to comp.sources.misc, then they will appear there.  I'm really
amazed at the number of people who think that the "net gods" are out to
get them.  Also, is this "person" from bigtuna so afraid to admit who
they are that they must use a guest account?  Seems pretty childish to
me.
