As one of the reasons for this discussion (do you remember my "Help"-
article some months ago ? :) I'd like to support Bretts opinion.
Maybe there should be periodical postings in alt.sources like in
moderated newsgroups that clearly point out the character of the
newsgroup and that tell every reader to direct non-source-postings
to alt.sources.d.

I'd like to greet all people on the net and thank everyone who
reads/writes news for all the news I really love to read.

Yours,
Frank
