- If they insist on posting discussion to the sources group, then yes
- the moderator would discard them. One way to prevent this confusion
- is for the moderator to ensure that the "Followup-To:" line in the
- header always points to the relevant discussion group. I favor
- comp.lang.postscript as this discussion group as there is not enough
- volume to warrant a new group.

- >Why? Are you trying to stop any of the
- >discussion that would occur when sources were posted?
-
- Of course not -- the point, which I think you agree with, is to
- separate the discussion from the sources postings so that discussion
- isn't archived in with the sources, etc.
-
- >Or are you suggesting that the moderator(s) should redirect discussion

-
- That is one option -- setting the Followup-To: on postings means that
- this often happens without intervention on the part of the moderator.
