But in the case of you sending a purchase question to a five
companies, it's the *company* that cares most about getting the
message delivered. You don't care much if one doesn't make it. They
do.
How much do they care; 75 cents' worth ? It's their decision, just
like with snail-mail versus courirer.
No. That's a sender decision. I'm talking about a receiver
decision. And the problem is that if the receiver starts paying for
receipt of messages (e.g. to their sales line) then they are open to
a different kind of for-profit spam.

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.
