moderation of alt.sources vs. automated harangues

[USENET News System]

Well, why not have an automatic filter program as moderator.  It would
check whether the posting has lines of the form #!/bin/[c]sh, 'cut
here', etc., and would only post those that conform (genrated by your
favorite `shar' program :-).  The others could either be automatically
posted to alt.sources.d, or if they contain flamage (nice new word,
huh?) then the filter could reply with a tasty hot flame of its own,
or pass the posting along to the USENET oracle server.		:-)  ;-(

Happy Halloween,
