I feel somewhat responsible for starting this whole ruckus, with an article
I posted urging folks to not *cross-post*, and suggesting that a moderated
sources group would be a good idea.  I would just like to say that there has
been a *bit* of software posted which was incomplete, not ported to the 3B1,
etc.  I say if Lenny is *WILLING* to moderate this group, I'm all for it.  I
think that's a good way to ensure some continuity.  For those folks who wish
to post little scripts, etc., we could *also* have an un-moderated group.
For example:

		unix-pc.sources (moderated)	Fully supported sources
		unix-pc.uucp (un-moderated)	Uucp related things ONLY.
		unix-pc.test (un-moderated)	For testing new sites, etc.
		unix-pc.general (un-moderated)	Discussions, questions, etc.
		unix-pc.software (un-moderated) Scripts, bug-reports, programs.
		unix-pc.hardware (un-moderated) Hardware (drives, tapes, etc.)

I think that by thus adding only *2* groups, we get things much better
organized.  And, once again, I strongly urge *NO CROSSPOSTING* within these
groups.  Anybody who reads one, reads the others (if they're interested), so
it's bothersome and useless.

Lenny, you have my vote.
