- I griped to the Compuserve problem report ID (from my Internet account...) that
- cutting off Internet support was a stupid idea. The reply was that it was
- less a policy decision not to support Internet users, but more to
- do with IBM's agreement with Compuserve, and the lack of any such agreement
- with "the Internet". I don't quite understand what that means, particularly
- when IBM has many Internet type addresses, but maybe someone else has some ideas.
