Kent mentions in his article that the reason for not posting source
to the group was to keep the cost of sending comp.sys.amiga (and info-amiga
if it still exists) around the world down. And this was and still is true.
Generally, it is better to have the two types of messages split out. 
Personally, I would like to see a non-moderated sources group but that is
not up to me to decide. However now we get to the interesting stuff.

comp.sys.amiga is still in the top 10 newsgroups. On BIX the groups that
make up the Amiga 'area' (amiga, amiga.user, amiga.dev, amiga.com) are
the top conference consistently. And to top it off their stock has 
closed over 10 twice now. I guess the theme of this article is all 
of the leading indicators are pointing up, indicating a long and fruitful
life for our favorite micro.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
