in article <2319@cxsea.UUCP>, blm@cxsea.UUCP (Brian Matthews) says: > the upgrades are of value to only 2.5% of the Usenet community. Actually, any item on usenet that is of direct interest to 2.5% of the total community is probably hitting an unusually large cross-section, and therefore very worthwhile. Consider how much of a newspaper you read. Or how many talk/soc/net/rec distribution articles, or even what percentage of those under comp. I look at most Unix sources, but use very few. I'm very glad for those I do use, and that atari and ibm'ers can get their needs attended to as well as mac'ers. I'm sure most of us feel the same way. The world isn't only mainframes or Unix engines; PC's are a very common workday adjunct, and so certainly deserve the support they get here, from a business viewpoint. Having the best software and the notes for using it are essential. That's why businesses and government adjuncts (schools fit both) haven't pulled the plug long ago. Usenet is useful. It's simple.
