It won't work. Why should I pay for something I can do free right now. Also, it may not be a huge cost to people, but what about businesses? My company must push a few thousand emails a day. That adds up. And my company is light on email compared to larger companies. What would a company like AT&T say? I'm sure company wide they probably send millions of emails a day. How about list server hosts? You think this list would exist if there was ANY cost to running it? Never trust ANY plan that involves charging money for a free service. The only reason for such a plan is to make the plan inventors rich. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
