I volunteer. Very, very rarely does a day go by that I don't read my
mail. Often I read it several times a day. So I volunteer to post
any and all source that comes my way (and *only* source). I volunteer
to not check to make sure that it unpacks successfully, I volunteer to
not check for a Makefile, I volunteer to not check for a manpage, and I
even volunteer to not keep an archive of postings.
Guaranteed one day turn-around. Is a sources-only alt.sources worth
one day's delay?

Ok. Could you also forward the non-source messages to alt.sources.d, to avoid
trashing them altogether ? Most people posting to alt.sources just don't know
that there is an alt.sources.d, and they should not be punished by having their
messages go to /dev/null...
Btw, I think that sending harassing messages to people who mistakenly send
messages to alt.sources is no solution. I've not asked anyone to become my
net.police, and I'm not either asking for volunteers... specially if these
self-appointed flamers fry me by misteak (sic) for messages that have gone
to alt.sources.d, as they should ! I can hardly think of worse waste of net
bandwidth (this message is of course 2nd on the list).
