It sounds to me like you could be on the verge of making an
important contribution to expanding this news group.

However, I would prefer to have GEnie allow two-way exchanges. 
Perhaps if the GEnie people see that they can benefit from the
inclusion of the mesages, they will reciprocate and allow their
users to respond to this group as well.

I know that my contributions are small, but (in my humble opinion),
I think they are positive.  Somehow it rankles to think that someone
else is taking my work, freely given, and translating it into a profit.
Moreover, they are imposing their own form of restriction by imposing
an "anthology copyright" which some folks interpret (incorrectly, I
think) as restricting them from passing it on.
