i'm sorry but at this point i'm terminally confused.  am i the only
person who completely fails to see the reason for all this noise over
AOL.  the mail seemed clear to me.  they would, under some
circumstances, after what appear to me to be reasonable steps, arrange
for some mailing lists to be available to some AOL users as
(presumably) local newsgroups.

you know if you all are so possessive about the fine details of
delivery to your readers i suggest you prepare a clear and emphatic
introductory document for your list(s) and mail it out on a monthly
basis.  therein you can threaten appropriate dire consequences.

if nothing else is going to come of the growth of the internet we can
expect that a tremendously widening dissemination of information will.
relax now before the stress kills you.

-------- it was written:
If anyone posted any of my list messages on a newsgroup without my
knowing, I'd go totally balistic.
