Since probably not a lot of people have a copy of that issue of
MicroTimes really handy [I can't remember even hearing that name
before], I think it would be appropriate if you gave us some idea
what the difficulty is.  I've had good experiences with the Apple II
sections of GEnie [although I wish they had a node in Iowa City], and
I don't think it's reasonable to expect anybody to change their
opinion of GEnie or GE just becuase you have some mysterious
disagreement with them.

I don't want that to sound nasty or anything, but if you have a
legitimate complaint we deserve to hear about it, not just to hear
that it exists!
