Somebody’s favorite person is making an ass of himself again:
Cory Doctorow, technocrat extraordinaire over at Boing Boing, wants me to “Fight AOL/Yahoo’s email tax!” Well, I am fighting it, Cory! I’m fighting it by handling my own email and not letting some huge corporation handle my email for me.
…
On the other hand, the post office delivers a ton of crap I don’t want to my mailbox just to subsidize their money-losing third-class mail delivery service, so maybe Cory has a point when he says this will make AOL and Yahoo mail “as good as postal mail.” The difference is that I’m forced to be a customer of the USPS, but I have a choice about whether to do business with Yahoo and AOL. Cory, help me get the post office shut down!
The only surprising thing here is that I beat TJIC to the punch.

I saw this last night, and thought about blogging it, but had to write up and mail out the TVR monthly status email to all the investors, advisors, etc.
