large number of international users, so bandwidth on the mailing list is always a concern
</snip>
Ahhh... that probably explains why so many of the international posts resemble SMS messages:
pls msg structs 2 me thk u 4 ur tIme
maybe we should go back to the old telegraph format?
PROBLEM MAKING SERVER START STOP WHEN I TRY TO START IT WILL STOP STOP
...and a guess at Teds anticipated reply to this post?
DONT YOU START STOP

Hopefully, if there is a bandwidth problem, we can all cut down the repeating of unnecessary matter in our posts.
Struts has a large number of international users, so bandwidth on the mailing list is always a concern. A lot of us have broadband, and extra paragraphs get lost in the rounding. But for others, longer posts means more finger-tapping, and maybe even a higher ISP bill. :(
Something to keep in mind is that every second you can save people when they review your post is multiplied by the 2000+ subscribers to the list today (2000 seconds is 33 minutes), and also by the thousands of others who read posts through the archives later.
Of course, the best way to conserve list bandwidth, human and digital, is (as mentioned) to observe [http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html].
