I'm sure you do - you co-run a commercial provider and would stand to do
pretty well if the U got out of the free UUPC feeds business.  I for one
am mighty grateful the U *does* provide such a service.  I and quite a few
of the people I feed can't afford a commercial provider - it's all we can
do to maintain the hardware and phone costs to keep mail and news flowing
smoothly in the area, and reduce our independence on just one provider.

It *is* a valuable service - but that doesn't mean they have to assign a 
specific value (i.e. dollar value) to it.  Public service can be just as
valuable.

(Hey - that's why *I* do it, too)
