Re: Looking at the U in UBE

Any of these money-based approaches I've heard scare me, and not just a 
little.

I have 45,000 emails in this account - you propose that people would have had 
to invest a total of $450.00 in me to let me read them, at risk of paying a 
lot more?

You're posting to a mailing list, but you seem to forget mailing lists in your 
approach?  If the mailing list has 2000 subscribers, there's no way anyone 
will pay $20 to send a single email, plus the risk of some people saying it's 
not wanted.  If you say "well it's a single recipient" then who's going to be 
in charge of deciding for the mailing list in an unmoderated case?

$0.50 may be a lot to you for an unwanted mail, but it's nothing to the people 
who make money off of sending them out.

E-Mail is free and should always be free.  Any system that is not will never 
succeed.

Cheers,
