WE WERE DISTRIBUTING IT ON USENET. The fact that it was on CD-ROM made no
difference. Period. Are you distributing your FAQs on USENET ? Do you have
a real definition for USENET ? The content on the disks were free, the
distribution cost money! UUNET is selling usenet feeds. So did we, just a
bit slower and delivered in larger spurts.
