Better we should pay to read your flames and complaints?

The net is a resource.  Asking for technical help was it's original,
intended purpose.  I'd much rather see, and pay for, messages asking
and answering "How does this gizmo work?" than messages that say
"How dare you ask questions on the net!".

If you're so all-fired concerned about net expenses, send your flames
by mail instead of broadcasting them to the world.  Last I looked, no
one had elected you the arbiter of what is and isn't proper to post.
