I just got a letter from PSI that is kind of disturbing. 

The thrust of this letter is that they are changing terms of user
contracts to say that since we're paying so little for a News/Mail
feed, we can't turn around and feed anyone else.

I'm not sure how they plan to enforce this, but the new terms state
that mail for ``another organization'' can not be sent nor received
through PSI, and that if you send your UUPSI news feed to another
site, no posts from that site can come back through PSI.

I really question their decision on this. Especially when I constantly
see PSI folk posting, ``We *are* the net'' all over the place.
Well, I never knew the net had an attitude.

Has anyone else out there gotten this letter?
