The distinction between the Net and GEnie and other pay services goes far
beyond the price aspect.  Face it, there are things which you can get from
an on-line service which the Net does not provide (and never will due to
its structure.)  I don't mean to knock the Net, just to point out that it
is very different from other services.  I can get all the free news I want
from radio and television, but there is a reason why I BUY magazines like
The Economist.  Surely you would agree that all information is NOT free,
you get what you pay for.
