Personally, yes, if the fee is not high (I'm on other important lists
too, so this could add up a bit). Another point is that paying for a
service establishes a commercial contract, so Yahoo (or whoever would be
the service provider) would have more trouble when technical problems
occur. For now, their policy is basically 'you get everything for free,
so don't complain if it doesn't work from time to time, we grant no
guarantee', but this would no longer be applicable with paying
customers, as they would a right to claim quality of service. Could
become quite a juridical problem.
