Forgive my ranting here, but...

Since the message from Mr. Dorius some days ago, this list has been
flooded with bitching and moaning about how much time and bandwidth
commercial plugs waste on this list.

Just out of curiosity, I've gone back through my archived mail and
counted up the # of responses related to the message from Mr. Dorius and
the total number of bytes from these postings. Unless I've forgotten how
to add, I've all received over 570k in about 19 different messages...not
counting the crap that keeps rolling in about what "tags" people should
put in their subject lines. The actual byte count may be more...I don't
know if Outlook uses header data to when calculating the size of a
message...whatever. You get the point.

Keep in mind that Dorius sent only a single message of 32k.

So, who's wasting time and bandwidth?

Just my two cents...uh...two kilobytes.
