	Some actually have to pay for this?  Do they pay per "full message"
or by "number of blocks" ??  
I just ask because sometimes I think I'm doing someone a favor, like emailing
a 100K anonymous ftp list (because they ask where they can get such a list).
But if they don't know how long this list is going to be, is it conceivable
I am doing them a disservice because of the rates they have to pay?
I just pay a monthly fee, are there some people that have to pay more than
just a monthly fee?
