Not to jump on Eli, but this ain't too cool an idea.  The problem
is that twenty different users downstream from gatech (or whatever) are going
to want copies, and then gatech will get 20 different copies transmitted
through it, not just one.  Thus, backbones pay *more* for the services.
This is, of course, also a problem with having mod.sources only post
announcements, too.

The only solution is to eliminate net.sources.* in favor of mod.sources.*
