- I have, and I personally couldn't care less about it. Considering all
- of the "wasted bandwith" we see coming from flames, people quoting 100
- line messages and then only adding a line or two, etc, etc ad nauseum,
- I don't think that a small set of articles, posted -monthly-, represent
- any real danger.
-
- Remember, it is GEnie policy that nothing be removed from GEnieLamp if it
- is posted. I would rather see the junk, and also see facinating articles
- like the Morgan Davis interview, than see it screened off because of said
- junk.

- No flames, Scott. Just my opinion.
