A tricky situation, a definite high five for going against George and his blatant paranoia but a big no no for ripping me off at every turn.

Thus, the dilemma!
This all started from a discussion/reaction posted from AOL's attempt to collect revenue for delivering email to their clients, whether or not it was permission-based or expected by the client.....
There are pretty serious motions now coming to light that should this "classification/delivery" of email program run into opposition, AOL, MSN, and even Yahoo! will
look to ways of charging clients for outgoing email...and I imagine it will be based on blocks of volume (100,200,500/mo.). Who knows?

Google may appear to be "protective" of the data they so anally collect, but the fact they are so aggressive and adamant about using it arbritrarily for their own means to 'force-structure' online status or class with participation in their various programs remains a nefarious effort at best.... And on it goes....
