	The current news setup allows response to a message either
through posting another article on the net, or by mailing a response
directly to the author.  I consider the second alternative to be as
important as the first.  Will there be transmission time for single
user-to-user mail?  Assuming there is not, I think that some sort
of mail service will have to be integrated into the STARGATE system.
	
	The rest of you out there are lucky I mail most of my replies 
directly to the author, rather than posting for all.  It reduces the
clutter.  I know that STARGATE is not trying to emulate USENET, but
certainly it can learn from the best parts of USENET.
