I have no  problem with that, however  it would be really  nice if people
were allowed to accumulate more mail as  long as the total did not exceed
20M or whatever quota you felt  comfortable with. Maybe even as a premium
service costing another  $2/month or whatever. To give  just one example,
there's a  lot (as list  owner demographics go)  of people trying  to run
moderated lists  on AOL and finding  it very difficult to  cope with long
weekends or the  like when they are  away for 3-4 days. Yet  some of them
are not comfortable enough with other services and want to stay on AOL.
