This isn't funny. For the *second* time, net.sources just got
rmgroup'ed here. *WHY*??? It was rm'ed a while ago, then revived.
Since then, a LOT of traffic has come through it - 10 or more articles
a day. Then, today when I run rn, it says net.sources is a bogus
newsgroup. THIS MAKES NO SENSE!!! comp.sources.unix was never born,
and as we all know, mod.sources is less than active. So, what are
we gonna do???

Personally, I would like to see comp.sources.unix and comp.sources.games
created. net.sources/net.sources.games/net.sources.bugs are (were?)
the ONLY net.* groups in my .newsrc... The switchover will not be
complete until we get rid of them. SO WHY WAIT???

I'd like to also put a word in for comp.sources.pc (perhaps
comp.sources.micro, with several sublevels: pc, mac, etc.). I know
no one (save PC users) likes PC code coming over net.sources, and
whenever a big post is made to comp.sys.ibm.pc, it sometimes gets flamed:
"This is not a {source/binary} newsgroup!!!" Not a happy state of
affairs.

Other than these gripes, I'm pleased that the net reorganization went
so well. In general I like the new names (with the exception of the
"ibm.pc" rather than "ibmpc" (why create a null directory "ibm", with
only "pc" under it?)).

Cheers. --Erik
