  I don't much like the idea of a one way link, for reasons previously
stated. I would be in favor of a two way link, because it would allow
feedback from the GEnie side, which possibly would contain useful info.
I believe that I can write a copyright notice which allows
redistribution of my articles to any forum which allows a response,
should I feel that was needed.
