If you want to learn more about the net, you'll soon discover that there are
fountains of information on USENET beyond c.s.a2.  Aren't pointers to this
other information things you're trying to learn?  Besides, if you want to be
practical, you're more likely to get faster and more thorough responses if
you post to relevant newsgroups.

A lot of Apple II people maybe clueless about the net but a lot of non-Apple II
people are also clueless about the net and there are plenty of books,
newsgroups and FAQs for all the net newbies.  You've learned more about the net
on GEnie than on c.s.a2 but rather than reworking c.s.a2 as an extension of
GEnie, why not find out where you can _already_ learn even more, more than
you could probably expect from GEnie or this newsgroup?
