One thing has bothered me about this whole business about non-sources in net.sources groups. The net is supposted to be a democratic type of orginization (or so I am lead to believe), so if 98% of the posters to net.sources don't post sources but post something elese then let them post what they want. I would rather threat through 10 non sources articles to get to one article then not have any net.sources newsgroup at all... The moderated source groups have one problem with the delay factor. There is just too much work (at least I think) for one person to do without pay on top of another job. I feel that a unmoderated sources group should be recreated because of overall net opinion. (Everyone who wanted a unmoderated souces group could post a message to comp.sources.d, that would get someone to listen...) Just kidding about that though, I don't think it will come to that. I think that the net has been well run up to this point and that it will continue to operate under the hands of the current operators.
