 Not at all.  This statement was directed to groups and individuals
 who are charging $$ fees for access to UNITEX.  We never see any of that 
 money....  UNITEX is expensive to produce.  Data costs, distrubution and
 phone costs, etc are around $30,000  per year.   We want the feed on Usenet 
 and University networks (BitNet, etc) but, at the same time, do not want
 individuals or groups reselling this information either directly or 
 indirectly via access fees to a 'private' system, etc, etc..

 I hope this clarifies my earlier directive.

 Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

 James Waldron,
 Director, UNITEX
