Facing increasing backlash about its plans to charge a fee for guaranteed e-mail delivery, AOL says it will pick up the tab for nonprofit organizations. So now, you can be guaranteed to receive e-mail from big, wealthy spammers who want your money, and from nonprofits who need your money. E-mail from small businesses that, say, want to announce that they're going out of business because they can't afford the cost of continued communication with their customers? Well, out of sight, out of mind.
