- It seems that the Sci-Fi channel has adopted me as their voice on the
- Internet. They post regularly to Compuserve, but seem to have been
- mystified (or whatever) when I described the Internet and Usenet News to
- them. Anyway, since I first started bugging them about showing "Hitchhiker's
- Guide to the Galaxy", I have been receiving E-MAIL from them. Now to the
- point: They asked me to post the following. I am concerned that it may be
- too commercial for Usenet, so I need your opinions. I will be glad to relay
- their information to this newsgroup if it is desired. If needed, I can
- explain the non-commercial aspects by which they should prepare the posts.
- I can even tell them to "get lost" (They are showing "Hitchhiker's Guide..."
- in february, and i've since purchased the tapes). Let me know what I should
- do (please E-MAIL to jkl@rastek.com, not this world.std.com address). No
- flames are neccessary since I have already acknowledged the problem :-)
