Sigh. We just did this with Brad's r.h.f group. There was a four
month flak about him gatewaying jokes onto GEnie. The net effect
to Usenet was zero, presumably GEnie users got something out of it.

No one person can say ``this will stop NOW!'' If you feel
strongly, put something in your .signature file like:

``Redistribution to GEnie prohibited''.

This prevents YOUR postings from being propagated to GEnie. If a lot
of people do this, it will send a message to GEnie. If a lot
of people don't do it, it will send a message to USENET.
