...and I couldn't agree more.  It makes an awful lot of common sense.  But I
have to ask: why hasn't this already happened?

Is it because the folks who write and maintain most of the news freeware
hang out at big, fully Internetted sites, and thus don't have to worry about
ugly UUCP connections for small tight-budget sites that have to maintain
their net status carefully?

It would be an ironic shame if the anarchistic nature of the net created a
situation where only the big guys could survive.  We little guys are
fighting for our lives in the trenches.  Every time our feed site goes away
for days on end, I feel like running a public access site is a losing
battle.  The only real solution in site is to find investment money and go
Internet/commercial.
