This is a great service that Brad is providing, and I certainly don't
intend to denigrate it in any way, but I should point out that the
prevailing wisdom among NSFNet HQ in Washington, DC, and at the NNTP
BOF in June Usenix was that it is not appropriate to send the "biz" group
over the NSFNet backbone.

Please note the large use of generalities; it's deliberate -- the whole
issue is VERY fuzzy, and will remain so for quite some time.
