This plan shouldn't affect most people, only the operators of mailing
lists and other high-volume senders. Some free mail lists may have to

I predict a lot of mailing lists will be blocking AOL users from
subscribing. The alternative would be making all their users pay so that
AOL users could subscribe, plus the added management headache of setting
up a payment system.

Oh, Hell no! You charge extra to anyone with an AOL email address,
