In order to do this PROPERLY (!) I've placed a Follup-To: header
in this message to make followups go to net.news.group. In addition
I've cross posted this to net.news.group.
Amazing about how people can talk about cleaning up the net. But while
they're doing it they're just posting to the wrong place, etc. All them
nassssty things.
Yes, I want to see this posting non-sources in net.sources STOP.
But HOW???? There's groups already existing for everything people
would want to talk about about sources. (net.sources.bugs for
problems with sources, and net.wanted.sources for people looking
for sources). So why do we see people asking for sources in
net.sources?????? maybe because the two groups aren't in the
same part of the hierarchy? They're too far apart on the list.
So, net.sources.wanted seems to be in line. Along with deleting
net.wanted.sources. And it needn't even confuse people because
in the interim we can use the aliasing feature of 2.10.2 (and
beyond) to move any traffic from net.wanted.sources to net.sources.wanted.
But then we still have to hear what Ross is gathering for us.

As far as I'm concerned, net.sources.d should be started now!
The votes speak for themselves : 18 votes, 16 yes, 1 no, and 1 request
for a repost of hack!
Now, how do you actually create a newsgroup?

I highly doubt that Time Inc. would make me their spokesperson.
