SCN: Re: principles

[Joe Mabel]

You misunderstood me.  I meant that now anyone with access to the Internet has 
access to SCN.  There is no paticular advantage to anyone to get to SCN any 
other way than via the Internet.  So if we give them access to the Internet, owe 
have just given them access to SCN. There is no partiulcar advantage to coming 
at SCN through an SCN dialup.  In fact, there is what I (and Isuspect most 
users) would consider a distinct disadvantage: lack of a visual browser.
