You know, I was about to write exactly the same thing...

In Canada, there was a "Canada Post is going to put a surcharge on
email,
because it's eating their business" thing last winter - I fell for that
one... lots of people did - it made it into the local weekly newspaper
verbatim. Blasted email myths...

Besides, they'll never ban religious broadcasts in the States - all
those
smarmy televangelists have way too much cash, and too many people
convinced that they're for real...
