I think the problem people are having is that Genie will make money
by selling access to the information in this newsgroup. However,
nobody who uses this newsgroup, some of whom can't afford or do not
wish to afford access to Genie, get no benifit from Genie, like  a 
download of information from THEIR newsgroup.
They make a profit, the people here on the Net get nothing in return.

Personally, I see their point. I subscribe to Genie and there are some
good files out there. I think that if we upload this newsgroup to Genie,
some reciprocation is in order. Otherwise, would we like to have people
who run a Net node in their bedroom, grab these notefiles, then upload
all of the stuff from here into a pay-for BBS running on a another 
machine in their bedroom?
I don't think that most people on the net would like it if they knew
someone was making money by selling access to what is supposed to be
a freely accessible resource. By uploading to Genie with no reciprocating
arrangement, we would be allowing the same thing to be done.
