"To ALL: OT and Scary:Very Important: Copied from AOL Board--
<snip>
The last few months have revealed an alarming trend in the Government of the United States attempting to quietly push through legislation that will affect your use of the Internet. Under proposed legislation the U.S. Postal Service will be attempting to bilk email users out of "alternate postage fees."

Bill 602P will permit the Federal Govt to charge a 5 cent surcharge on every email delivered, by billing Internet Service Providers at source. The consumer would then be billed in turn by the ISP."

This is a hoax - it's made the rounds of the 'net several times.

Another good reason to ignore what you read on AOL :).
