Right.  I think that the point is that we've yet to see a substantive
and meaningful discussion originate from AOL &/or Prodigy.  It is true
that there's some guy from AOL who gets on that gets kicked around a
lot, but it's kind of a vapid entertainment.

Netcom is kind of a fence-sitter for me, since the California connection
often inspires a kind of free-spirited type AND since it's so big in
the Bay Area, where Internet is a way of life.  

The real key is to get Net99 & Sprint & UUNET out of the feed channels,
because they give everything to everybody (which I'm not opposed to) AND
accept anything from anybody (which is the source of the confusion).
