Thanks for the offer, Jon, but please do NOT. This has been discussed at
length in the past. Let's not get into a lengthy discussion of it again --
it's just inappropriate for comp.sys.atari.st.
There is a mailing list for distributing the ZNET magazine to people who
want it. I think details are posted in the monthly Frequently Asked
Questions file. I assume you have read it.
I'm not against the magazine -- I happen to be on the zmagazine mailing
list myself -- but please, not in a Usenet newsgroup.

A few people have taken the time to enlighten me. They said(and I agree) 1) there are some people who pay for usenet so they cant just press 'n' and forget about it 2) there are very,very few people who have access to usenet and do not have an email address so if you want Znet just ask Greg Lindhal 3) by the time the emag gets to you all the way from New Zealand its probably already at your local bbs or genie or greg lindhal has sent it. 4) Also They said that that silly little vote should be taken again. 5) And also according to They this was proposed some time ago and was shouted down for the above reasons peace, Milton Symister uunet!cucstud!msymiste

If I recall correctly, another reason that this was shouted down last time was because of the advertising in Z*Net, which goes against the Usenet no-commercialism policy.

Well, what you're remembering is the ST Report flap. The ST Report on-line magazine always had an advertisement for hard-drives from the editor's business. That's fine on GEnie and CI$, but isn't in line with Usenet etiquette. Z*Net's only flaw in this regard is that sometimes they're a bit enthusiastic about reprinting verbatim press releases from software companies. These sometimes go overboard on the advertising side. But I don't think I've nuked one in ages. All in all, Z*Net is a much better publication than ST Report anyway.
