Summary: 


I believe the only reason someone could say that Stargate has been
kept a secret is that person is unsubscribed to net.news and
several of the other news groups were the discussion has been
going on for sometime. Also, be advised that Stargate is an 
experiment. The results of the experiment may lead to a
recommendation for implementation or cancellation based on the
outcome of the test. At this time nothing has changed nor will it 
for the near term. I think Stargate is an exciting concept that
needs our full support. The Stargate concept could guarantee
the health of the net for a long time to come. Doing no 
planning for the future will probably guarantee that it will
wither away as site afer site withdraws because the costs
are too high. After all, what does net.motss, net.flame or
net.younameit have to do with the work most of us are
engaged in? How long can we expect our employers (or schools)
will foot the bill for these non work (non academic) news
groups?
