   Usenet only has a hundred more hosts than Arpanet?? I'm disappointed.
I had expected double the number.  There's no surprise that Usenet is
bigger, it's just an example of positive feedback.  Arpanet, on the other
hand, is expensive to hook into and carefully controlled.  Of course, it's
also more reliable.
