"Fairness" doesn't enter into the picture when people are deciding where to spend their money. If a fee seems higher than the value that comes from paying it, then that's that.

Probably almost every credit card transaction you participate in involves a provider that charges higher rates, unless the merchant processes significantly more money than we do. _______________________________________________ HCoop-Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-discuss
