different from what has been discussed heretofore.
I'm picturing a system where every message has an opportunity cost that
is partly dependent on size and partially independent (is there a label
for such? I'm unaware of a specific name for f(x)+c as distinct from
f(x)... At any rate, such a scheme would reflect roughly my notion of
limited attention, if the tokens had a useful lifetime (say a week).
Then it would be possible to predict the maximum bandwidth per week.
This is tantamount to what happens in the periodical publishing world:
"All the news that fits."

<excerpt>I came in late. It seems to me that "freshness-dated" tokens
that couldn't be hoarded might permit a prediction of max total list
volume per unit time. I can see how that might be perceived as
exclusionary, but less so than if the tokens could be hoarded.
If this sub-issue has been hashed to death, my apologies.
