Oh, what was that place with all the themed rooms?
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't get it. It's not a mandatory tax, it's a service. Companies who pay for it get to bypass certain filters and assure consumers of their authenticity (Citibank, for example). MoveOn doesn't have to pay for it if it doesn't want to. I could be wrong, but if the plan were implemented nothing would change for MoveOn from the way its emails are treated today.

I think then we're back to "is nobody working fact check at MoveOn?"

Is MoveOn affiliated with EFF? Because they had an alarmist opposition to the plan. I think their most persuasive argument was that AOL and Yahoo have an incentive to weaken their spam filters. This objection seems daft to me, but I'm spending too long here trying to explain why and I doubt anyone cares so I'm stopping.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Doesn't it mean a de facto weakening of spam filtering anyway?

If you assume that the paid email may be spam. I think EFF is claiming that Yahoo and AOL will let more regular spam through, but EFF seems to be conflating who pays for the service-- I think they're assuming that the addressee will pay for this service in order to escape the weakened filters. But my take is that this is only a service for bulk emailers to buy. So I don't see that incentive-- actually, what I see is an incentive to strengthen their spam filters to encourage the bulk emailers to buy.
I misread the EFF article, they're claiming Yahoo and AOL will strengthen their spam filters to shakedown mailers. My mistake.
