   There is a solution to this, but GEnie must be willing to reciprocate 
fairly for their gain if they intend to plunder Usenet for their own advan-
tage.

   I am not against allowing more general access to comp.sys.atari.st if it
will help support the US Atari ST owning community.  But since GEnie is a 
for-profit service --

It is time for two new Newsgroups:  comp.genie.atari.st.talk and 
                                    comp.genie.atari.st.bin .  These should
both be newsgroups moderated by GEnie staffers.

Sounds FAIR to me!
