I agree. The only way I'd support this would be if someone would write a
quick newsgathering/reading program for the ST, and put it up in GEnie's
program section. UUPC will mostly work as a base for this. I bet most
GEnie subscribers won't be aware that they could be getting the USENET
messages for free. Portal, at least, is inexpensive enough that it doesn't
make much difference, but trying to keep up with comp.sys.atari.st over
GEnie (especially in an area that only has a 1200-baud WhateverNetGEnieUses
link) could get quite expensive.

Or make them carry rec.humor and talk.bizarre.
