Look, folks, someone already issued a newgroup for alt.sources.wanted,
which seems like a great idea (if some people like aliasing it to
comp.sources.wanted, no harm done -- people in a position to provide the
goods probably read both).  We don't NEED every single change that's
been discussed.

There has been almost zero noise on alt.sources itself since this
argument started.  Doesn't this suggest something?  KEEPING
CONSCIOUSNESS AROUSED is the best medicine.

Why don't we have a monthly WELCOME TO ALT.SOURCES posting with a 30-day
expire, which tells new users what's what?  I bet fewer people would
post inappropriately if this existed.
