The point: I think the time is long past due to "grow up" on this
issue and accept that some sort of limited, reasonable-usage-free,
postage system is necessary to prevent collapse into monopoly

particularly in the minds of those who think it's a good idea?
In the words of someone famous whose name I'll leave out of this: This
