This is the first 'hard' evidence I have seen that HO were thinking
along those lines (and they do not seem to be so thinking currently). I
would hope that any ISP tempted by such blandishments would refuse them
absolutely. I am still of the opinion that it would be unlawful for any
ISP to permit such a practice.
