As I recall, the reason you sent me one was because I posted a non-source
posting in alt.sources (with a followup to alt.config) asking people if they
hadn't had enough of this and were finally ready to rmgroup alt.sources.  I 
felt pretty silly when Jef pointed out to me that I had broken the non-source
rule in alt.sources; but I thought it was important that the inital message
be seen there so no one would argue that any rmgrouping was done behind their
backs.

Well, the response against rmgrouping alt.sources was so strong that I took
to sending notes to everyone that posted non-source drivel to the group.
After about a month of this,  I wrote a script to deal with the problem
directly,  an hour (and 5 flame letters) later,  I wrote a script to deal
with the problem less directly :-(
