Hi Gord,

BW> Huh? Since when did sending someone an email COST you money????? ---

 GH> Crash costs money (long distance charges) email does not.

Actually, most people pay some provider to provision themselves with Email
services, so there IS a cost involved, however its not usually based on
frequency of use or volume, its usually an "included" cost. 

Even students or employees who are "given" an Email account by their
scholastic institution or employer, usually end up paying for it one way or
the other. I know our corporate accounts are billed back to our departmental
cost centre, so it may be "funny money" to some, but my manager considers it a
real cost to the department.....;-)

Cheers.........pk.
