I hope that the users there are trying to change the situation,
otherwise they're going to run into major problems. There's nothing at
all to keep someone from feeding you a multimegabyte posting (split,
of course), and running your bill through the roof. And you couldn't
do anything about it "Gosh, gee, he said he was interested in database
programs, so I mailed him a copy of postgres."

I would *hate* to be in their shoes.
