I belong to GEnie. GIF files get posted there from time to time. I never download them because they are SO big, and I don't want to pay for them. I would expect that a lot of Usenet system administrators would feel the same way; somebody's paying for all this, after all. And I don't see that such files provide much real benefit per byte, either--all they are (usually) is entertainment. While there are groups devoted to entertainment, they aren't pushing megabytes through uucp links... ---- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: dorner@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu UUCP: ihnp4!uiucuxc!dorner IfUMust: (217) 333-3339
