You havn't listened to the arguments.
There is NO COMMERCIAL USE. It is simply a division of the ACTUAL COSTS.

Repeated for the 100th time:

	USA is not EUROPE - USENET is not EUnet

If you want to come here and tell 15 governments that they have got it all

Until then, the only way to get a USA price news feed of USENET articles
is to find someone to pay your bills for you.
