Why was this group created? I may have missed some of the discussion, but I have seen no discussion regarding the need for such a group? Did my recent posting of three games cause a bit of upset? :-) In any case, the games were indubitably source, and I don't see any reason why they should be separated from other source. I mean, there aren't news groups like net.sources.{utilities,kernel-fixes,misc}. Why the singling out of games? -Peter Yee ..ucbvax!yee yee@Berkeley.ARPA

But the utilities, kernel fixes and whatnot are interesting, and I scan the title list daily, saving anything that seems important. On our site, new games are of no interest, and we have turned off net.sources.games. Thank you, whoever came up with the idea.
