	Some Of Us said, when this linkup was first proposed between
ForthNet and USENET that Certain People Were Going To Be Unhappy.
Some Of Us said that USENET traffic tends to be reserved for More
Carefully Reasoned Postings Than Those Entered Into PCBoard BBS'es.
Some Of Us May Have Been Right Despite The Flack They Took For
Expressing Unpopular Opinions On ForthNet.

	Any, Rob, Pete ... whynot do what I do ... don't use   rn   to
read comp.lang.forth, use   nn   which carefully highlights the ForthNet
postings, and ... don't read 'em!

	Boys and Girls, can you say, "bozo filter"? I though you could!
