I know BITNET policy discourages (note, I said 'discourages,' not
'bans;' I am aware of the various types of exceptions) commercial,
profit-making companies from parcipitating in BITNET.  How does
CREN officialdom (as well as the rest of us out here) feel about
professional organizations (American Statistical Association,
American Psychological Association, etc)?  Are any already members?
