Peter, it seems that some demand a free ride because it's the human
way.

I'm sure that you have, somewhere, the cost of storage per hour, 
and connect per hour, and can rational a cost of queing/routing.
Just tell these guys what the REAL cost to operate, on a professional
scale is.  They don't care that somebody is doing NOT FAST on a boat-
load of curiosity seeked trivia.  (God help the forwarder of EMACS
18.57!)  I supply newsfeeds, and I'm not thrilled when stuff like
all of the BITFTP goes through ME. 

Set a standard..  what MUST we po' folk do?  Suggest a most painless
(on a generalized scale) viable method for equalization of the cost.
