Yes. Large binaries are interesting but examplative sources are much
more interesting (and often shorter).  I don't know what's happening in
comp.sources.mac, but the flow of articles there is ridiculously small
(e.g. one for the whole january and nothing for february !).  

Is the moderator (i.e. Roger Long ?) on holidays, ill or mysteriously
moderated ? Or maybe is he overloaded as he has to manage
comp.binaries.mac and comp.sources.mac [if he is, why not split that
work among 2 people?] ?
