With reference to David Small's announcement:

| It's time to announce that there is now a working uplink
| from USENET to GEnie. Each note posted into comp.sys.atari.st is sorted
| by topic, and uploaded to "Category 10" of the Gadgets RT on GEnie.

I am in complete agreement with Dianne Barlow Close on this matter. USENET 
is not for profit, and I object to GEnie profiting from people reading USENET
postings on GEnie.

Since I cannot post the stuff I download from GEnie to Usenet, I fail to see
why GEnie should be entitled to charge people to read Usenet articles.
