But ... but ... it DOESN'T have postings coming out of it.  That's the
whole point.  It has had precious few packages (not counting the updates
to previously posted packages) coming out.  It has LOWER volume that
comp.sources.unix and only the permanently deluded believe that c.s.r
WASN'T created to thwack Rich $alz's nose.

I believe (though I reserve the right to be completely wrong) that more
ADMINISTRATIVE postings have come out of c.s.r than SOURCE postings.
