Magazine's premier issue (way back before I became the editor) three years ago: "Postage Due".
http://www.doingfreedom.com/gen/preview/postagedue.htmlI intended this piece as humor, but enough people took it seriously that I've been told I may have inadvertently triggered one iteration of the 602P (email postage) urban legend. Go figure. <g>
