Hmm. Alot of traffic on comp.sys.atari.st screaming, pleading,
apologizing, etc, about the posting of Usenet articles on GEnie.

From what I have read, a majority of the posters disliked the idea
very strongly, that Usenet messages appear on a pay service, that
is, a one-way link- Usenet on GEnie, but nothing from GEnie to
Usenet.

I understand that someone in rec.arts.anime compiles messages
(edited? unknown.) and uploads it to CompuServe's Japanimation
forum's downloads section, as "Usenet Digests". Now, as I
understand it, noone there has said anything about it. So the users
in r.a.a. apparently does't mind that their messages have to be
"paid for" and downloaded from CIS.

When I was on CIS, I used to see the files, but due to the size of
them (usually around 32k) I never dloaded them. (read: $$$) But
when I found out there was a local public access to Usenet, I
switched and use this system exclusively.

Now the users in r.a.a. apparently feel that the availability of
anime information should be passed around, and it is my impression
that c.s.a.st users do not want Usenet appearing on any pay
service.

Oyasuminasai da-cha,
