But isn't the fact that it is responded to at all significant?  I.E., email
to a dead address won't be responded to.

And even a valid, correct response could become obsolete the next day
when the POCs arrive at their offices and discover their jobs have been
outsourced and the PHBs are clueless.  :-(

It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing, so I don't think in
and of it self, this is a major argument for fees or against ULA-C.

Aren't fees supposed to just cover expenses, which I think would be pretty
minimal for ULA-C, in the same ballpark as domain registration fees,
(which are often charged for a 5 or 10 year period to reduce overhead)?

And my last question, are we even allowed to talk about this on
this list?  :-)
