There are a lot of Usenet nodes in Texas -- with quite a few being
bbses, I think. (I guess I could go count [u,d].usa.tx.* Nah... :-)
Anyway, how will it affect us? The way I interpret SWB's decision,
we're in trouble as well, as soon as they find out about us.
Maybe we could get the PUC addicted to Usenet, then they'd stick up for
it. :-)
