Sorry, I don't agree. We also charge for storing lists IF the list keeps
archives (or files), i.e., requires disk space. You can create a CMS
userid without disk space and this costs the list owner nothing. Without
this policy I can see some of our disk hungry lists taking up all the
available space we could dish out. This policy also forces the list
owner to be more than a casual owner, after all it is their computer
account that is being charged.
Lots of sites charge for disk space used by their lists.
