Of course, the University is -- and a bundle, too.
Of course--I'm not putting anything down here; just saying that it's
easy to be addicted to something free. :-)
Or you could excoriate the University and DEMAND to be billed. Your choice,
I guess.
I think such a demand would be going a bit far. If I wanted to
support the Net monetarily, I'd send a donation to NSF or
somebody--then I wouldn't be setting a precedent. :-)
