   I agree entirely with Diane? on this one. Genie is commercial, and wants
money from me to use it. If I wish to give them information, I will join
GEnie. A fair? solution is the downlink of their respective items, which
I'm sure they'd protest to. As, why call Genie (I ask myself that many times
in the past, since, Usenet seems to have a much more knowledgable 
and reasonable clientel) if one can get the info at no cost to the individual.
fair is fair... If GEnites want to read my postings, I certainly would
appreciate the opposite. So I vote "NO" to uplink only. And, as previously
stated the Usenet administration should at very least "know" about it.

Eastman Kodak makes film not comments.  Therefore these comments are mine
not theirs.
