- Well, I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I sure don't
- read all of every issue of all the magazines I get, and they're all
- things that I'm interested in. There may, however, be more efficient
- ways to accomplish the same thing. :-)

- In my case, I probably ought to go to the library for some of the
- things I want to read. I don't know what the netnews equivalent of
- going to the library might be. Unless libraries were to begin
- carrying newsfeeds with public terminals to access them...
