The site "cvedc" and possibly other sites have been forwarding alt.sources
articles to me for submission to comp.sources.misc. THIS IS NOT CORRECT,
AND ALL SUCH ARTICLES HAVE BEEN DISCARDED. Please, news admins, make sure
that you aren't doing this.
Why isn't it right? Because alt.all is a separate subnet from the Usenet;
if you don't want alt.sources, then refuse it in your sys file -- DON'T map
it into the Usenet hierarchy! These sites are doing a disservice to the sites
downstream from them: if the poster wanted it in comp.sources.misc s/he'd
have posted it there.
