First off, I know this used to be true, and it may not be anymore... I
don't know for sure... Make sure that any files you upload to Compuserve
do NOT become their property.. there used to be some services that took
this liberty with other peoples work... So I'm always a little leary of
the larger ISP's like that...
not that anyone here holds "copyright" on the faq or acronym list...
that's the way it should stay..
If someone knows that this isn't true anymore please let me know :)
