I guess i could rephrase what i want to do...i want to remove the quota
system. has anyone ever done that before? and second i intend to replace
it with my own system that won't be as strict, interms of who gets
charged for owning an object. I see the quota system only as a means to
control the size of the db and to give everyone a fair share of it. i
want to remove the fair-share part of it but still keep control of the
size in some way. i can do this by basing it around my money system
where i can remove some of the extra money if things start getting too
big..or levy a tax or something.

this is also a good point but...this won't be a social/technical moo
like lambda it will be more of a game in a sense. useing money as the
basis also works will with some of my other plans such as make @create
$thing called Foo into buy $thing or something of that nature. but i
think that's getting off the focus of this list and if anyone else likes
i'll discuss my plans in private email. or look at
