 * Delete. Concur with UDScott. Usenet postings are neither a reliable source nor proof of notability. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:52, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I see no reference to Usenet here.  That notwithstanding, my takeaway from WP:RS is that mailing-list posts (and Usenet articles) are primary sources for the fact of their text.  In any event, WP is by intention a tertiary source; use of primary sources is a sign of original research and thus discouraged.  WQ by contrast is a secondary source; original research is encouraged, and citations to primary sources are not only expected but preferred.  So if you want to argue notability, that's fine (as it happens I agree), but reliable sourcing means something completely different in a quotation compendium than it means for an encyclopedia.  121a0012 02:34, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Apologies; I incorrectly called the CrackMonkey mailing list link a Usenet posting. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:31, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
