Fine == Fee

And it does far more than ten in harm.

I'm not sure what you mean by this?

For the second half, what Larry said pinned it perfectly:

And for the first half ("Fine == Fee") meant that a $10 fine would simply
degrade into a $10 fee.  That is, some people (not all, of course, and • maybe
only a very few, but some) would gladly pay a $10 fine -- considering it a
fee in their mind rather than a fine.

I'm not being obtuse. I've still no idea of what you are getting at. Do you
mean I would consider the $10 fee for posting? If so, it is a rather week
argument. The same could be said of any chastisement, ie: Does the penalty
for doing action X outweigh the benefit gained from committing that action,
or does the punishment suit the crime?

(...) I don't believe I said that, no. I said that _some people_ would gladly pay such a fine... It's not a good or workable preceden to set. --Todd (25 years ago, 15-Feb-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
