In actual fact, I'm accessing UseNet right now through Portal, a *two way*
access point into UseNet for anyone who doesn't have access through
a University or company.
 
For a *flat rate* fee of $10 a month, plus about $1 an hour for PC Pursuit,
I can have two way access to UseNet...  
 
So it's not true that GEnie subscribers can't get UseNet info...
