Why does everyone have such a problem with forwarding Usenet messages
to Genie?  There are already other services out there that provide 
access to Usenet messages for a fee.  Not everyone has access to Usenet
through their place of work.

No one will be forced to pay Genie for access to Usenet messages.

If anyone posting to Usenet doesn't like the idea of people having to
pay, then they can choose not to post.

The beauty of Usenet is that it is difficult for anyone to force their
form of tyranny on anyone else.

That is my two cents worth.  Copy me directly on any replies -- I am 
waiting by my mailbox with a bucket of cold water.
