It's similar in price to Jetstrap, and Jetstrap went under. I think $6 / month or $60 / forever seems fair -- and honestly I'd be worried it's not enough money. When I use a tool for work, I want them to charge enou

This disturbs me. So Slack is a communications platform. If we have an embargo against a country, we have to shut off any services we offer to that country? Including communications platforms. Doesn't seem like that will help improve
