Can you READ?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!! Brad rather clearly said that Clarinet links are agreed upon by the parties involved. None of the material is even *allowed* to go through links that are not approved by Clarinet. Moreover, you are confusing Clarinet with IN MODERATION. The former is material that is externally generated, nothing from Usenet. Only IN MODERATION is taking stuff from Usenet and redistributing it. Why is it that almost all the anti-Brad's are illiterate? : That is an interesting "IF"! There is a legally enforcable custom, practice : and usage on USENET that disallows BUSINESS VENTURE usage of USENET. Firstly, you are absolutely wrong. Usenet is very much used commercially. Go as Sun or Telebit. Or Microport. Or.... Secondly, from the original posting: : ClariNet provides electronic publications in the Usenet file format. : ClariNet is *NOT* Usenet, but a parallel network that uses the same : file format. And, in case you are going to nitpick: : You can pick up all clari.groups by calling UUNET, the non-profit : USENET communications hub. If you are already a UUNET customer : we can instruct them to start feeding you right away. You can : also call ClariNet machines, or ClariNet customer sites that : are willing to feed. All ClariNet links must be approved by : ClariNet. Get it? NOT USENET! NOT THROUGH USENET LINKS! AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT NETWORK! I had more to say, but disgust at your ignorance and stupidity is making me want to vomit. --- Bill { uunet | novavax | ankh | sunvice } !twwells!bill bill@twwells.com
