This is conviently taken out of context...

No, what I was reporting here was that people who brought the topic
up on the RT discussion (and there were not that many) said they were
afraid of saturation of the section the material was being posted to.
They were talking about it as though they had already made use of the uplink
information. If they had, or if they hadn't but just said they had
I have *no idea.*

Once again...my little one paragraph comment was intended to briefly
report on what I had heard on that discussion. I was at that discussion,
you, Chad, were not. It was an informational paragraph for the benifit
of USEnet users who did not have access to GEnie. I did *NOT* intend
this to be a harange on *me* as to the validity of what was or was not
said.

Enough?

Give me a break....play semantics on your own time. If you *knew* I was
referring to the Gadgets RT, then why bring any of this up? To show
that *you* knew the difference?
