See Ben's article for his reasons.  Ben, I have no objection to Usenet
articles appearing on BIX, PROVIDED that it is also OK for BIX users to
take some of the best BIX articles and post them on Usenet.  I'm told
that in the past, you objected to this or forbid this.  I'm in favor
of anything that leads to greater interchange of useful information.
My only objection is to people who would take only and not give back.
