Remember not everybody receives this list over an ADSL connection :)

Also its not so much the number of bytes sent, but the readability of the
messages. If you have to wade through screenfulls of quoted garbage just
to find one line of real message at the top or the bottom, its a waste of
everybodies time...(and repetedly quoting and re-quoting the ADSL mailing
list by-line at the bottom is just plain lazy)
