I'm rather surprised to see this discussion, really.  As far as I'm
concerned, the answer is: Yes, absolutely, post any source you want
to.  As long as it's not proprietary to anyone, post little things,
huge things (batched in several messages), whatever.  This group is
here to help people, and goodies are some of the best help you can
get.

If (oh happy day!) source begins to clog up the newsgroup too much,
then we stump for the creation of "comp.lang.smalltalk.sources", shove
all the source in there (moderated, probably), and go on with
discussions as usual right here.

Personally, I don't think there's too MUCH source here, I think there's
too LITTLE.
