I simply believe creating an artificial scarcity at the infrastructure level a bad way to address spam. > the transport costs sender-pays is trying to price its our > time.

Cash exchange for mail transport will simply create a new profit center for ISPs. This is no different than the various request-permission-to-transmit proposals, aside from adding cost to the mix. Doing so will cut down on normal person to person discourse before it fixes spam. Presupposing micropayments for a new net.service has been a nonstarter for years, and I fully expect it to continue to be so. -j -- Jamie Lawrence [EMAIL PROTECTED] Strangers have the best candy.
