I'd be suprised if it was as much as that.

Hooking the larger commercial nets up to Usenet is not going to be much
different in the long run than allowing the other smaller pay per view
systems on (well, portal et al).

As usual the people predicting the Imminent Death of Usenet unless RHF is
removed are overreacting. Quit being so pessimistic and see what happens. If
horrible things happen then get out your flame throwers. It'll be a lot
easier to get some popular support.

Face the facts that most of us are quite happy with the job that Brad is
doing. I'll continue to give the benefit of the doubt to someone who is
actually being constructive and productive as opposed to people who just
want to rant and rave and object to any progress.
