Just to clarify, as there have been several comments along this vein, I certainly didn't mean to imply that people should include their sources. I understand that you put work in to your research just as I do. What I don't understand is why there are so many sites that let you download GEDCOMs (meaning it is obviously a popular thing) if they don't include sources. To me, they become largely useless (other than for clues as someone mentioned) without original sources.
I think the real answer is that a lot of people don't care about sources. For these people, downloaded GEDCOMs w/out sources would be great. I think it's just that I have become so used to not beliving any information without a convincing (meaning vital record, book, etc as opposed to a downloaded file)source that I didn't understand the perceived value in these files. I also was concerned with making sure that there really were (often) no sources included as opposed to me making a mistake importing it into Legacy. You all were very helpful in clarifying this.
