     What good is a moderator if he can't even insure that a proper desciption
     accompanies the files he sends out. 

     Yes, this is a flame.

Flames doused.

For comp.sources.misc, Brandon does nothing (theoretically) except
ensure that all postings in the newsgroup are in fact _source_ (cf.
ridiculous flamage about alt.sources non-source postings), and that
they have archive-palatable headers.

Everyone submitting source _should_ add descriptions, explanations,
man pages, etc ad nauseum, but spare Brandon the flames.  In fact,
spare everyone the flames, and write private email to the submitter
asking for a followup with more detail, probably to comp.sources.d.
