What I would like to see is for everyone to be required to use Compuserve
for six months before being allowed to post to USENET.  One doesn't post
content-free flames when one is paying 12 bucks an hour for connect time!
Perhaps the habit of posting short, to the point, articles would carry over
to USENET.  Of course there is no way to actually implement this...
