Write the software, build your Usenet II, and if it's really that far superior then it will supplant Usenet I. People are always coming up with improvements they'd like to the basic Usenet model, but none seem willing to put their money where their mouth is. Come on, Steve. You can use the existing transport mechanism, even. Just a new newsreader or two and you're in business! Downloaded From P-80 International Information Systems 304-744-2253
