Forget it, Richard... the people who run GEnie are motivated by one thing,
and one thing only, and it begins with a capital  $$
 
They are no more likely to allow you access to their files (which account
for 60-75% of their revenue) for free, than they are likely to subscribe
to any minimal code of ethics...
 
Letting you read <giggle> and <tee hee> messages won't cost them anything,
and might even be written off as advertising for their real product, which
is the download libraries.
