	There's alot more "trash" on Compuserve than you might think...take
the "netwits" group, or the games SIG, or the Hollywood gossip column, or
the Multi-player games...people are just as willing to pay $6.00/hour offtime 
to play 'Adventure' as to write pleas for help...

	As for me, my Compuserve account is free, and I spend very little
time online with them, finding the Usenet news to be alot more interesting
than all the stuff on Compuserve.
