Convenience Fee

We get a bill for our tag tax.  Nate goes to pay it online.  There's a $5 "internet convenience fee."  Nate yells, "This is ridiculous!" (and it is) but then proceeds to go through with the payment.  I argue, "A stamp is only 50 cents.  Let me mail it in."  Nate wants to pay it online simply out of principle.  We argue.  In the end I win.  But here's my question, would you have paid the bill online?

i would have mailed it in if the form was already printed for me, if i had ot print the form off the website and then mail it, i owuld have just paid the $5 fee because i'm lazy and my computer isn't hooked up to the printer. i know that's really specific that but that means it's true :)

$5 is an extra high internet fee, so i dunno. but normally $3-ish fees make me just sigh and still pay it online.
