As one of the members who consume most of the bandwidth and disk
space, I think it would be better to go back to the way we handled
bandwidth on Abulafia (when we had to pay by the gig): if you use more
than the average use level you pay a larger share.

I think it would be simplest to base it on disk usage (as it is the
resource with the largest real cost); if you need 2x the normal quota
you pay 2x the normal member price.
