I've had good experiences with the Apple II sections of GEnie [although I wish they had a node in Iowa City], and I don't think it's reasonable to expect anybody to change their opinion of GEnie or GE just becuase you have some mysterious disagreement with them. I don't want that to sound nasty or anything, but if you have a legitimate complaint we deserve to hear about it, not just to hear that it exists! --David A.
