- How can you possibly use a speech synthesizer to handle the vast amounts
- of information in Usenet newsgroups, with so much that is redundant and much
- that is not designed to be read aloud (<1k0hlgINNnaf@usenet.INS.CWRU.Edu>

- screen--you'd spend all your time on headers and quotations of what you've
- just read.
