In place of this read "What *I* think you should be doing ..."

You have the right to your opinion - but you being 4500 miles from
Germany, and knowing NOTHING of the European context, I don't give
much for your opinion.

You have NOT followed the explanations.
One more time ...

EUnet is the network of the EUUG.
We are (if you like) a club of people who import out news, sharing
costs to reduce the cost for all.

PLEASE DON'T TELL US THAT WE HAVE TO GIVE MONEY TO OTHER PEOPLE.
Because giving away free news feeds is exactly that.

They are free to get their own news feeds, and set up their own
networks - but we WILL NOT subsidise them.

If you want to implement your ideas then go ahead, but you have absolutely
no right whatsoever to impose your views on us.
