Why not rename comp.sources.* to comp.source.code.*

The answer is that those groups are moderated, so when people post mistaken
messages to those groups, only the moderator has to deal with it.
I get at least one message a day that was somebody posting a "I want..."
kind of message.  (That doesn't count all the BITNET failures that get
bounced back, nor the "please add me to your mailing list" messages,
nor the --- sorry, I'm snivelling.)

The main point, tho, is that the other groups get bogus messages from
ignorant posters, too.  Because they're moderated, the net at large isn't
bothered by them.

Yours in service,
