FLAME ON:  Mike DID NOT say everyone has such access; he DID say lot's of us
do.

I seem to recall a poll taken about a year ago which indicated that the vast
majority of usenetters were university types. I don't know if this was a
net-wide poll or just a (some) specific newsgroup(s) but it seems quite logical
to me since it was NSF which started the net to begin with and they are
heavily university oriented. Never-the-less, even if only a small percentage of
usenetters have access to educational discounts, the info Mike posted is still
useful and appropriate for this newsgroup. Your complaint is unfounded.

Sorry Rich, but it seems to me that you've got a bad case of sour grapes.
