I disagree with everything. ISP subscribers are often frivolous
and clueless and they change e-mail addresses faster than a
certain president change young secretaries. And they haven't
paid ME anything, so I owe them nothing.
University or corporate subscribers are at least serious enough
to have a job or a study, and have more stable addresses.
Their relationship to their employer is their business.
