Go Away! (Permanently, please). Do people stay awake at night thinking of ways to get mad at brad? He's one of the few people on Usenet who's actually thinking about the net, and trying to do something about it. If you don't like the service he's offering, don't subscribe to it, but there's no need to bad-mouth him at every opportunity. I for one am glad that someone like Brad is taking the time to work out some actual alternatives to what we have now, I know he may rub a lot of people the wrong way but at least he's trying to do *something* instead of sitting back and complaining any time anyone suggests something different, which is all we ever hear from a lot of the net community. I wish Brad well with ClariNet. ..Steve Steve Hayman Workstation Manager Computer Science Department Indiana U. sahayman@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu (812) 855-6984
