Why should our systems have to receive/process their junk when it wasn't
requested in the first place?  Anything that requires the user to receive
the entire message (and therefore pay for it) prior to deciding whether or
not you want it is absolutely no change from the situation we have at the
moment, and therefore not acceptable, IMHO.

It's a nice idea, but how much money would you have to invest in hiring a
U.S.-based collection agency to get your money - and would you break-even?

$500 minimum due to the international issue.  :-)
