Is the Net designed as a means of information exchange?  If so then so
be it.  Surely a one-way link is better than no link at all.  I spend
well over 75% of my Net time passing information between the other services
I am on and the Net and its not fun.  The fault lies not with GEnie and
other pay services, but rather the Net itself.  If the Net is truely set
up to facilitate information exchange then its impossible for it to be
'raped' for information sinec that is its only reason for existance right?
