See, Harry, your reply is very telling about what's wrong with your
attitude on economics: You only think of yourself and ignore the
negative impacts on everyone else. FYI: Your wasting of bandwidth
affects many other users of the Internet, and that's not even
limited to FW subscribers. What ever happened to "harm no-one"?
Your bragging with your own bandwidth is beside the point -- it is
the bandwidth of the recipients of your mails and of everyone else
that matters. Anyway, squandering of resources is never good, even
if some happen to have plenty of them. But that's your economic attitude.
And your patronizing on "crayons instead of modern improvements"
betrays your technological ignorance: M$' bloatware is a typical
example of "progress" __in reverse__, or at best "progress" run amok.
If you can't make your points without fancy colors and styles, then
you could at least use a lean variety of HTML which has about 1.5 times
the volume of plain Ascii, instead of M$ bloat-"HTML" ("smarttags") with
a multiple of that volume (e.g. factor 19 in your previous posting on Reagan).

The DSL coverage of Switzerland is over 95%.
