I agree whole heartedly!  This arrangement puts money into GEnie and
does the net absolutely no good.  Dave, you've done a lot of good things 
for the Atari community but please put a stop to this before it goes any

I wonder if Chris's copyright notice is a good way to stop this sort of
thing.  Better still, how about something more specific....
