Why does that matter? It's now 2007. 13 years later. > The reasons from back then are the same reasons as today. Again, I strongly disagree, at least for the lists I'm on. If I was on a mailing list that discussed 1200 baud and below modems, I'd agree. Again, none of the other lists I'm on have this issue. > If only because there are still people with the same slow bandwidth, > somewhere in the outback. > You might want to deny them a 'lean' means of communication, but I > don't. OK, and of course, that's your prerogative...but how many people on this list have a less than 56k Internet connection?
