_every_ phone call costs _someone_ something, and every fax costs the
receiver something. (obviously, the folks behind tpc.int aren't
calling numbers that are toll calls for them...) the point is, how do
you determine which requests are "legitimate"?
there are many legit. uses for faxing an 800 number, or for
subscribing one's fax machine to a mailing list.
Mailing list managers have a responsibility to make sure that their
mailing lists aren't abused in this manner. It isn't even very hard
to do...
