Hmmm.  I find this rather confusing.  Gus, how many universities do you
think give "free net access" to all their students, as of Right Now?  It
might very well be more than you suspect.

Besides, most sysadmins don't just throw a community of users into the
middle of USENET and say, "Go at it!"  They provide *education* to the
community, first.  Educating the undergrads?  Concept!
