It is indeed true that all athletes will have their own electronic
mailbox, although they will be logging into a menu-driven
application program and not UN*X. As for access by the Usenet 
population, it seems highly unlikely. There are too many security 
and other issues to allow this as far as I am concerned (e.g., Sent 
to USSR Track Star minutes before the *big* race:  Hey Comrade, your 
mother just died!)
