My opinion:

The moderator should choose, based primarily on input from the readers
and posters, which category to use.  All are fair game.

I also opin that mod.sources is a magazine and mod.comp-soc is a newspaper.
mod.sources has a backlog and a finite amount of network resources to
consume, so there's often several days delay before a source is posted.
I don't read mod.comp-soc, but I'd guess that since it's more discussion
oriented, timely turnaround is more important than super-high quality.
(Super-high means making multiple passes with the author before a typical
posting is approved - something that's appropriate to a magazine.)
