Before we criticize the "City Model" used by Cleveland and other FreeNets,
we must come up with something better. This requires a complete list of
headings which require less than a full screen for topics to bring to mind
all possible  subjects which might be posted on a FreeNet. I define a
FreeNet as a no-cost BBS available to the general public which carries all
information paid for by the taxpayer, including land records, schools,
parks and recreation and health services. It should be interactive,
permitting free discussion between users and from users to all public
employees and elected officials. 
A FreeNet is the modern replacement for the public forum. The basic
service serves the local community (such as the Triangle), but ideally
should provide access to surrounding communities, the state and the nation. 

Comments on this newsgroup should bear this definition in mind.
