Les,
     In case anyone hasn't told you -- that's ABSURD. MSCNet has only been
around for the last year or so. Chinet went it's own way about the same
time. Interaccess has been around a tad longer, I think, but I wouldn't
swear to it. (Have I missed any?) The CLOUT project as been around for
more than 3 years (I don't remember the exact year, so I'm playing VERY
conservative). Let's not make this out to be any more than it is.

     Who said that free UUCP connections were leaving? We're just in a
transition stage right now. I have ever faith in our administrators' sense
of ethics and propriety when it comes to keeping clout running. Remember,
alot of these guys have invested money, blood, sweat, and tears into this
thing -- that's not something that's easy to buy off. So, I can say, with
a rather large amount of certainty, that there is NO kickback-style
situation in the works. Your allegations to that point are unfounded,
unfair, and unwarrented.

     Speaking of kickbacks... how do we you weren't paid to start this
thread? ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) (smileys for the humor-impaired)
