  If there isn't, what was all the discussion in comp.misc (I believe)
that they were now charging a $1.50/mo for something or another (a
mailing as I recall). If they are billing you monthly and you're paying,
how can they claim your account was inactive? You have the receipts to
show you paid.

  Assuming that there is a monthly fee, regardless of the size, If it
were me I think I'd have my lawyer send them a letter asking politely
that the service for which payment has been made be reinstated, and
gently waiving the possibility of a lawsuit.
