And Thank The Fnord for it, as well. I don't even want to think about
what it would cost to read GEnie online ... or, for that matter, news.
I don't choose individual posts online, I subscribe to a newsgroup. On
some of them I only get the headers, but then GEnie doesn't have
binary topics, so that's not an issue.

It might be different for you pampered slobs not paying for telephone
connect time ... but over here, being online for any amount of time is
definitely a bad idea.

Yours
