I have, and I personally couldn't care less about it.  Considering all 
of the "wasted bandwith" we see coming from flames, people quoting 100
line messages and then only adding a line or two, etc, etc ad nauseum, 
I don't think that a small set of articles, posted -monthly-, represent
any real danger. 

Remember, it is GEnie policy that nothing be removed from GEnieLamp if it
is posted.  I would rather see the junk, and also see facinating articles
like the Morgan Davis interview, than see it screened off because of said
junk.

No flames, Scott.  Just my opinion.
