	I'd say: drop them. That kind of policy is plain bull feces. 
Go with UUNET, they don't try to screw you over either with fees or
with strange policies. Sheesh. What an attitude! That is entirely *not*
in the spirit of UUCP or USENET.

ps. Since I *am* shaman.com, I suppose I represent myself.
pps. I only subscribe to UUNET, I don't work for them. But I have been
very impressed with their service so far. Except for the current bogging
down of their lines (which I am told will get fixed sometime this month),
they have provided courteous, quick service and reasonable prices.
