Ok, one question:
So, like, if we get to the point that we all decide that a SLIP link
should cost exactly the same as a shell account (based on a costing
argument) do we then get into the ``but why should a shell account
cost as much as a SLIP link when *obviously* a SLIP link is more
useful, powerful and valuable?!" argument (i.e. value-based)? And then
therefore lower the shell account price, and then get back to this
costing discussion (why should SLIP cost more than a shell account?),
and then...
