"There isn't any sort of 'universal right' that one can run
his own email services just because he can connect to an ISP."

Well, the whole point of the Internet is that "a host is a host
is a host", so once I buy connection from an ISP, I *can* run my
own e-mail services, or naything else I want (subject to bandwidth
charges, which is reasonable). I for one don't want to see the
Internet dumbed down into some kind of universal AOL. What's your
solution to alcoholism? Banning pubs?
