No, you're paying for the ISP, not the individual emails. You pay taxes which go, in part, to fund the USPS *AND* you pay for each parcel of mail you send through the USPS. Whereas on the flip side, you can pay for an ISP but you do not pay for each email you send out. Also, I know dozens of people that use Yahoo mail and Hotmail and scores of other free email services that are not ISPs.<BR>
