Re: [Asrg] Stamps

I don't think this is necessarily true. The proposal was that the cost be 
negligible for "normal" emails and it's only when one tries to send 
hundreds of thousands out that it becomes "real money".  It would not 
affect the average person at all.
As for the claim that people will have the right to send it - that's 
absolutely true. And we will still need to have mechanisms in place to 
detect unsolicited mail. A whitelist with challenge/response is very 
effective for this.
