It is all just hearsay.  Compuserve published a statement explaining
exactly what their policy is.  I uploaded it and posted it on Usenet
once before.  If I still have a copy, I will post it again.

Since this comes up every six months or so, I am thinking of setting
up a crontab entry to post it every six months.
