I won't e-mail from outside Germany. But for God's sake, >tell me why not! My curiosity is killing me. That's easy. I'm at one of those sites that charges you for sending AND receiving email. At my site this amounts to DM 0,40 per KByte. Thus, if I should receive a lot of email responses to an article of mine, it could get quite expensive. By the way, my site is not an university or somesuch, but a group of students running a computer they have payed for with their own money, so it's quite natural that they want to share the running costs. However, I'm posting this because I know that a lot of other NetUsers share the same situation and I want to point out that not *everybody* can use the nets for free.
