Comp.sources.reviewed, in its current state, is worthless. It's funny how the PC world (and their corresponding comp.binaries.* groups) is able to maintain one of the *best* newsgroups on the net, *without* a reviewing process. Yet, the UNIX world can't even get software posted with *TWO* distribution groups (c.s.u and c.s.r) on their own original UNIX based network. Sigh... It's an endless argument...
