- I believe that someday the net will serve the same purpose as the US
- Postal Service does now. True, it can't be for profit but it is a
- vehicle for profit. An information highway with out the billboards. I
- can see how you could conduct business on the net if you just used
- e-mail and kept your business out of the newsgroups. The various
- forsale groups seem to be very effective. Eventually, all of our mail
- and newspapers will come to us via e-mail whereever we are able to dial
- up from. Don't get me wrong, I'm not for soliciting business in the
- groups but it is a tremendous resource.
