Then follows the most blatatt, commercial use of this Net that
I have ever seen.

WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?  

Don't you know that these newsgroups are carried to countless
Arpanet sites across the country?  Can you imagine what would
happen to our access to Usenet on taxpayer-supported computers
if the wrong people saw this?  Haven't you noticed the
virtual lack of such commercial uses of Usenet, Arpanet,
CSNET, and the others?  Didn't you even wonder why?

Remember, that if you cause the Arpanet community to lose
access to Usenet, BOTH sides will be the losers.

Just whose side are you on, anyway?
