Note that someone on the third tier of the chain was getting a response rate of 1/10 of 1% (a number we've seen quoted elsewhere). That always sounds tiny, but a million is a very big number. They were pulling in $5-6000 per million messages. That kind of economic pressure is going to be very hard to fight.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
