The basenote describes the GEnie Wednesday night conference and the mention
of the USENET, err, discussion there.

	Rob, the comp.sys.atari uplink to GEnie has barely been mentioned in
the ST area. Remember, it's in a *completely* different area,the Gadgets RT,
which is like a whole nuther newsgroup. It certainly wasn't flooding the ST
area; it couldn't,it was in the Gadgets area. We kept it well under control
in the Gadgets Category 10 all by itself.

	GEnie has awesome disk space -- they just don't delete notes. There's
stuff on there going back for years.

	Anyway, I'm sure you had good motives, and just wanted to clear this
up lest someone unfamiliar with GEnie think we were wreaking havoc inthe
Atari ST RT ... nope, just one category, of 14 or so, in the Gadgets area.

	-- thanks, Dave / Gadgets
