Are they clammoring for newsgroups, if so those particular ones that are being 
gated now?

It sounds like you want to make a case to bring all the newsgroups in for the 
less fortunate, I cannot see your logic employable unless that is done and to 
only base your argument on the mere handful that are being gated now is 
foolish.

I thought Fidonet wanted to differentiate itself from the Internet, what 
happened?
