This is why mod.sources is better than net.sources and why net.sources
should go away.  With mod.sources there are well-advertised depositories
for sources posted so one can get missing parts.  There have been
arguments against mod.sources stating that it is unreliable and people
miss postings.  Read net.sources and count how many "I am missing parts of
software X..." messages there are.  You might be surprised how many you'll
find after a major piece of code is posted (major == anything bigger than
one part).
