From article <18063@rpp386.cactus.org>, by jfh@rpp386.cactus.org (John F. Haugh II): > > You aren't the official spokesman for what USENET is or isn't. Quit > pretending you are. > -- > John F. Haugh II UUCP: ...!cs.utexas.edu!rpp386!jfh An Excellent point John, (IMHO) Usenet is lots of different things to lots of different computers and lots of different users. Some sites/users will welcome shareware and use it without payment, Somes sites/users will use shareware and pay for it, and some sites don't want to carry shareware at all. I think that we could give everyone a solution that they could live with if we had a shareware news group. In that way sites that didn't want to carry it wouldn't have to, and sites that want shareware would receive it (or arrange to receive it). Hope this helps...
