I hope that this isn't proprietary to tell everyone about this, but we
prople here at AT&T have done a study on the revenue generated for
AT&T Long Lines by Usenet, and have found it to be a goldmine.
Therefor, an actual depatment has been formed to continuously submit
news articles, and to purposefully cause high-volume discussions.  And
we all know know that this department is running out of the rabbit
system in the AT&T-land of New Jersey.  (Yes dear, rabbit is an AT&T
system.)  We have also gone to the point of hiring prominant
newsnetters as consultants to kepp the level of usage high.

By the way, I would like to publicly commend our two top consultants,
Tim & Laura, for their fantastic job of generating thousands of
dollars of revenue in the discussions of a hypothetical Wombat menace.
Once again, Tim and Laura, thanks.
