Marco, Email traffic - unsnipped posts, unwrapped posts - none of this really matters to most people. Most people have hundreds of megabytes of online storage for their email - regardless of the state of their personal hardware. Most people use email clients, or web-based email interface, that automatically wraps text for them. Most people delete emails that they do not wish to read.
I say all of this to say, you're constant outcry for "better email practices" is a waste. All it does is create the very traffic and wasted bandwidth that you so desperately wish to stop. That, and it annoys people. At least it annoys me. People who have such limited resources (pay-per-bit downloads, less than a Gig of HD space, 2 megs of RAM, whatever), should *NOT* subscribe to a mailing list of this magnatude. I mean, I don't try to burn DVDs on my CD player. If your hardware or connection or software is so vastly limited - you, as the user, need to be aware of your limitations and not attempt to exceed them. All the "good email practices" in the world won't change this. Please end your campaign for control of other people's email, and stop this annoying ranting. Thank you, -Chad Smith On 7/23/05, M.
