Ok -- let's think about that for a second.  Doesn't that point mean then
that spam should be permitted?  It's using a "renewable resource" so who
cares if it goes out to users?   If someone pays to have a TI and they want
to send emails to 10 gazillion people . . . why would we limit what they
send out on that TI?  Who are service providers to care what comes in on a
user's email account . . . or web browswer?   Pop-up ads are just as
intrusive and many times suck down more bandwidth then spam mails . . . but
people aren't nearly as hostile about them as spam.   

Interesting food for thought eh?
