What if sending emails were no longer free? A monthly reverse sliding scale could be assessed, something like: 1-1000 monthly emails: free 1001-10,000 monthly emails: 1 cent apiece 10,001-100,000 monthly emails: 10 cents apiece 100,001+ monthly emails: $1 apiece. Who would assess these fees, who would regulate them, collect them, etc. I leave as an excercise for the reader. tanstaafl. _________________________ "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch"
