Of course; they are living the discredited "make the victims pay"
model so naturally they want to do nothing except wait to collect their
pensions.  However they allocate the space and they can withdraw it.
That's anyone's definition of an enabler.

It not only is not "way out", it is the way lots of well-run 
service providers now operate, without the slightest legal problem.
The purpose of my proposal is to elevate the current practice
of well-run organizations to universality instead of randomness.
It can be done if people put their minds to it instead of whining.

Yes I appreciate your earlier suggestion, carefully noted, and I
have already done so.   However a lot of really clever people congregate
here and I am most grateful for their earlier comments.

By the way, my plan will work.  What is yours?
