Not my question. How does a third party determine that a list is "too
large" (or not)? Given such a check, how is that check not subject to
very trivial gaming in attempt to push, if break, the limits?
If they pay their freight (I am positing some sort of pay-per-piece
system) or provide a pull list they don't have to worry about this
sort of thing.
Otherwise, they take their chances. I'm sure some would since they
don't care all that much nor should they.
But the point is that I believe the system will have to change and
this is not only limited to so-called unwanted content. More and more
the free ride the spammers are exploiting is being exploited
unreasonably by others.
Anyhow, you seem to believe you're talking to the Wage and Price
Control Board, to use a venerable early 1970's analogy.
Not a reference I'm familiar with I'm afraid. I've spent most of the
last years outside the US.
I just meant that I'm not proposing any sort of all-mighty centralized
control which would set a single number answering your question.
It'd be a market like many other things.
P.S. In 1971 President Nixon established a "wage and price controls
board" to help try to stem inflation.
