[extropy-chat] Email Postage

[Brian Lee]

I was trying to point out that lists like extropy-chat would be shut down 
because of the costs of sending the individual messages out to each 
subscriber, not from subscribers being charged from sending to extropy-chat.

With the email postage schemes, there are only two types of email: paid and 
unpaid. So if this scheme is used to curb spam, then extropy-chat would 
never be able to pay the fee for thousands of emails sent out each day.
