The basenote refers to USENET notes on GEnie enticing GEnie users.''	

	That's exactly why they're there. I want GEnie users (and more
importantly, sysops) asking GEnie mgmt. to make this connection, and to
concede the things that aren't negotiable -- no copyright, 2-way, etc.
People don't appreciate USENET until they *see* it -- hence the temporary
uplink. My error was in not explaining all of what I was doing, and in
having someone react fairly hysterically to it, without checking facts
or motives.
