- But ... but ... it DOESN'T have postings coming out of it. That's the
- whole point. It has had precious few packages (not counting the updates
- to previously posted packages) coming out. It has LOWER volume that

- WASN'T created to thwack Rich $alz's nose.

- I believe (though I reserve the right to be completely wrong) that more
- ADMINISTRATIVE postings have come out of c.s.r than SOURCE postings.
