First of all, BTW means "by the way."

There's an interesting article in this month's Unix Review about how Usenet
is being crushed by its very success, i.e. the sheer volume of mail that
is bandied to and fro every day is dragging down the major notes machines
such as seismo (not to mention their administrative people).

The consequence of this is that a "connect fee" is being seriously considered
for notes-type access.  

So why don't you people that insist on calling everybody elses' machines
junk do it via email so that 1) the rest of us don't have to read it and
2) a little less traffic clogs up the worldwide unix network.

Sometimes I think the Amigoids read comp.atari.st just so they can find an
opportunity to get their digs in (and possibly vice versa).
