Note that PSI physically cannot place such a restriction on any site.  What
PSI attempts to do through contract restrictions involves preventing a site
that pays for leaf-node service from forwarding posts from downstream sites.
You can easily get around this restriction by simply forwarding your
downstream posts through an alternate site -- something easy to arrange since
the post volume generally amounts to a trickle compared to the receive
volume...

Also, the site I help maintain (MsElectron.com) receives a feed from polari
and I haven't noticed a problem with volume.  So, no problem with polari here
-- I really don't know what Bill's (imagined) problem might concern.
