Tell me again, please, how Brad is >getting money for being moderator of RHF! WILL jokes from GEnie and Delphi be brought over to Usenet and the other pay service? The objection I have about gatewaying *any* Usenet group to the commercial converencing systems is that they are implied to be ONE WAY. I cannot see how why there should be any more of an objection to, say, Compu Serve becoming a Usenet node than any of the public-access Unix/Usenet system. If Brad does want to charge public-access sites for his newsgroup, I hope they band together and cut him off. And what about uunet? They make money by distributing, among other things, rec.humor.funny. -- Glen Overby uunet!ndsuvax!ncoverby (UUCP) ncoverby@ndsuvax (Bitnet)
