More on e-mail scarcity

While my "provide everyone a finite number of e-mails to use each week" concept has still not caught on, I thought I would share a few more thoughts on this...

  • This model would solve network problems, or at least make capacity planning MUCH easier
  • Human/mental bandwidth would receive the same benefits
  • This is NOT a Socialist model... that model would have "everyone send e-mails based on their ability, and reads based on their need"... which, upon further reflection, might actually be the current situation (so, in a way, I guess I am doing my own little part to spread freedom worldwide.

I also think there might be room for "rollover" e-mails in this model, but that is a musing for another day.
