Genie is commercial, and wants money from me to use it. If I wish to give them information, I will join GEnie. A fair? solution is the downlink of their respective items, which I'm sure they'd protest to. As, why call Genie (I ask myself that many times in the past, since, Usenet seems to have a much more knowledgable and reasonable clientel) if one can get the info at no cost to the individual. fair is fair... If GEnites want to read my postings, I certainly would appreciate the opposite. So I vote "NO" to uplink only. And, as previously stated the Usenet administration should at very least "know" about it. -- Jeff Gortatowsky-Eastman Kodak Company .....rochester!kodak!elmgate!jdg (use uuhosts or such to find path to rochester) Eastman Kodak makes film not comments.
