[Icom] Fwd: [QSL-Net] AOL Again

Sun, 4 Apr 2004 18:09:17 -0400

Why do we expect e-mail to be free?

I say - pay your 2 cents per e-mail - that will work.
1000 emails a send from QTH net - that will be $20.00 income for this
message alone from the memebers of this list in Al's pockets to pay for
QSL/QTH net.

If we paid for email, you'd see off topic posts and SPAM go away.

How about getting back to ICOM -???
