 I've read somewhere that if commercial e-mail is sent to privately held
 e-mail servers, the sender of that e-mail can be charged for bandwidth, CPU
 time, and HD occupancy at a rate to be determined by the server owner.
 Possible second income, Thom? ^_^

I don't know about that, but I do know about this:

By US Code Title 47, Sec.227(a)(2)(B), a computer/modem/printer meets the
definition of a telephone fax machine.
By Sec.227(b)(1)(C), it is unlawful to send any unsolicited advertisement to
such equipment.
By Sec.227(b)(3)(C), a violation of the aforementioned Section is punishable
by action to recover actual monetary loss, or $500, whichever is greater, for
each violation.

There would be a seperate violation for each member of the FFML.  There are an
estimated 800+ members.  Do the math.

Also, don't reply to this on the list.  There has been enough spam about this.
Let's get back to fanfics.
