- You seem almost surprised. Why? Prodigy been pulling this kind of crap for
- years. Why would anyone use Prodigy? Does it actually cover an area that
- neither USENET, GEnie, CompuServe or AmericaOnline cover?
-
- Sexual abuse survivors on Prodigy fled to GEnie en masse about 14 months ago
- after Prodigy management said their discussion was "too explicit." Prodigy has
- no interest in free expression or in honest discussion. That, and you get
- commercials on every dammned screen.
