Free interchange of ideas?  While I am generally opposed to moderated
discussion groups for these reasons, these arguemnts just do not hold
water for the sources groups.  The source groups are by definition, not
discussion groups and a year or so ago we actually split off discussion
groups like the bug-group and the wanted-group to keep discussions out
of net.sources.  It is not going to hurt the free exchange of ideas any
if the latest version of the terminal lock-up program takes three or four
days to get past the moderators busy schedule.  And it doesn't take a whole
lot of insight on the part of the moderator to determine what is source and
what is misposted.

I heartily cast my vote that such archival groups such as net.sources.*
and the proposed net.doc group be moderated.
