Hi Treggers, Below is a post regarding a proposal to the FCC by the phone companies. Since most government officials still don't own computers <g> or know anything about the Internet other than it being a place to get kiddy porn, we need to let them know serious people use it all the time and it would be a tremendous financial burden to pay by the minute. Drop the FCC an Email protesting this proposal. Have all your friends spam them as well. I don't think it matters much what it says, just indicate a strong "NO" somewhere in the first line so they can stack them up. It will be a numbers game.
