If Usenet (or USENET -- not UseNet or USENet or UsEnEt you heathen;
rtfm) is relatively unproductive as a registration cash-cow for
shareware postings, it's probably because people don't EXPECT to find
shareware here; why should they, since common sense suggests IT DOESN'T
BELONG HERE!

Still, authors like Ross "I Conduct Mail-Type Conversations In News
Articles, Don't You?" Greenberg can hardly claim it's a BAD channel,
since after one little upload the entire net patiently does the
remaining 99% of the commercial distribution work, at its own expense.
With an implicit subsidy like this, any return at all is worth it -- to
the author that is.

The bottom line is, BBS's and commercial timesharing services ALREADY
exist.  Usenet cannot and should not try to emulate them.
