As you know from our other conversations; Lauren, I would be happy to pay
a reasonable fee for this service.  I already have the tvro and wouldn't
need much more than your board attached to my Luxor.  If usenet doesn't
do this it will still be done; but in a much less professional manner.
Something like the "Daily Schedule" currently broadcast on some of the
channels, curiously reminiscent of Commodore 64 printout format.  And I'll
bet that a "real product" might interest the NASA people who have "many"
transponders just sitting there "going to waste" when the shuttle isn't
up...

      Arpanauts ahoy:  How do you get the vertical blanking interval
for an unmoderated arpanet that we can use?  And then;  where can the
Usenet be gatewayed into it?

By the way, Lauren;  I really appreciate what is going on here about
Stargate...  I want to publically thank your communications company that
is willing to allow us the vertical blanking interval of the TBS channel
from Atlanta.

In the words of the prophet Baha'u'llah
"We are all leaves of one tree"
Imagine what Usenet could be if every site were a leaf; and could /dev/null
everything that their SA didn't like... ( Come to think of it; I've WORKED
at places like that! )

The Majareshe (sp?) broadcasts over his satellite link to his faithful
followers ( and anyone else with a tvro and a little curiosity ) most
every evening.  Does your Guru?

Just sitting here thinking about what Lauren said about the emminent
demise of Usenet - as we know it.
