I completely agree net.sources MUST be replaced - not everything posted
to net.sources is approprate for mod.sources.
If comp.sources isn't available I would expect a lot of source to be
posted to inappropriate (and probably multiple) groups.
This also makes it hard to get the source to the people who might be
interested.
I would have never gotten the phase-of-the-moon program I have if it was
posted to an astronomy group.
