Charging for e-mail is absurd. Why don't they just start charging me for talking, too.

How about the air that I breath?

If people don't like spam, then quite giving your e-mail address out for silly free passwords to crap sex sites.

Duh.

Besides, you are only begging the hackers to write a virus in retaliation. You are only tempting the greedy to come up with even more ways to take a bite out of my behind.

Bill Gates has enough of my money, and yours.

The internet is just a bunch of binary. Charging for e-mail, well, give me yet another reason to implement another way to send that binary back and forth.

Yeah, I'll do that. I'll call it b-mail; Binary Mail.

I'll wrap it up with efficient compression, and encryption. I'll have it ride that backbone of the internet while William loses profit.

And what about the guys and girls that can really program and hack. Heck, I am nothing compared to alot of men and women.

Ahhh, the joy of giving.

The molested and forgotten asset of the internet.
