In sympathy with both points of view here, would it not be acceptable to
all concerned if Stargate did what it set out to do by feeding the
moderated newsgroups and offloading them from the phone based net.  This
would allow the "open" usenet to continue as long as the backbone
sites were still willing to carry it, and it would reduce its volume
at the same time.  Why can't both systems operate cooperatively in some
deliberate and planned way, making the best of both worlds?
