Yahoo Must be up to something!

Doomsday For The Internet As We Know It?
The first steps in a move to charge for every e mail sent have already
been taken. Under the pretext of eliminating spam, Bill Gates and
other industry chieftains have proposed Internet users buy credit
stamps which denote how many e mails they will be able to send. This
of course is the death knell for political newsletters and mailing
lists.
The New York Times reports that "America Online and Yahoo, two of the
world's largest providers of e-mail accounts, are about to start using
a system that gives preferential treatment to messages from companies
that pay from 1/4 of a cent to a penny each to have them delivered.
The senders must promise to contact only people who have agreed to
receive their messages, or risk being blocked entirely."
The end game is a system similar to China, whereby no websites even
mildly critical of the government will be authorized.

Are you people just absolute idiots with no ability whatsoever to use the SEARCH button at the top of the screen and see if (gasp!) your question has already been asked sixty-thousand times already?
The server is DOWN. This is NOT the end of the world. Just be patient for an hour or two and you'll be able to continue abusing the English language over IM once again.
