OK, now I'm starting to get irritated. This is the third or forth
response like this that my message generated.

Don't some of you *read* the messages you respond to? I clearly stated that
the topic was brought up in the ST RT *DISCUSSIONS* on Wednesday
night...I wasn't talking about where the UPLINK was located!

Secondly, I stated that *most people didn't know about it*.

Thirdly, and lastly, I only mentioned this here so that USEnet 
people got some sort of a feel as to what the GEnie side of this
thought about the situation.
