not at all being missed; of course the system would be opt-in. but you
need to opt-out if you get too many messages. you don't control who
sends you messages [directly]. what i mean is you don't *initiate* it
(unlike the typical cost of sending an sms; you sent it, of course it
cost you money).

not at all disagreeing people won't use it. i'm just highlghting what
will happen in the community at large, and the sort of backlash you'll
see.
