If there were one, I would lobby to make a USENET II modeled after this one. Our costs are hidden this way. To actually pay would mean I would have to re-evaluate the benefits of USENET, ... and probably would not think it's worth it. (I'd then have to justify the expenditure if I wanted to sign up and do other happy horses--t.) As we decided before, let's keep it this way. -- --steve kramer {allegra,genrad,ihnp4,utzoo,philabs,uw-beaver}!linus!smk (UUCP) linus!smk@mitre-bedford (ARPA)
