I think that short sources are well reposted, but long ones should be
pointed to with an abstract here.

I object to all the extraneous "header" lines -- this is not some
automated group, just alt.sources.

I do like the fact that all of a sudden alt.sources is flooded with
SOURCE CODE for a change!  Bracing feeling 'innit.

In short, the experiment was worth trying and NOT self evidently alien
to Net spirit.  But in the long haul a more economical compromise would
make sense.
