   Last month's "scoop" was about the Internet gateway to Compu$erve...

Perhaps I'm missing something important, but I find it very difficult
to understand how anyone can claim to have "gotten the scoop" on a bit
of information which was announced to the entire Usenet plus the
entire subscribership of info-nets@think.com some 6+ weeks ago.

Of course, I also failed to understand why the existence of the
gateway appeared in a "rumors" column (PCWeek) _after_ that same
announcement.  So perhaps I'm a bit slow.  Or perhaps I just don't
understand things that are ugly and media-marketing-like (with
apologies for the redundancy).
