I just read one of Bill Lovell's posts on this subject and I wanted to add
that I don't think that the $1 is a bad idea. And his reasons why it
helps keep the "big guys" from obtaining too much control are good
reasons.
I simply wanted to point out that from small acorns great oaks grow - that
a small (to us in the US) $1 fee can accumulate to something significant
so we should not dismiss it simply because it is small on a per-person
basis.
