I read an interesting article in the newspaper the other day that 40% of the US population doesn't have broadband access. If you include those who can't afford it or don't wish to get it, then you'll find a large number of people even in the US don't have broadband.
Many, many computer users around the world are still using dial-up or have metered service. Hence the need, as Ron pointed out, for LUG listers to be considerate of those who aren't as "wired" as they are and refrain from HTML and attachments and to clean up messages so only the part pertinent to your response is included.

Pictures are also great for hiding viruses. The former reason is why we are requested to delete Legacy's footnotes at the end of each email and remove old posts. (See Etiquette rules at the end of every email - and then delete if you reply :-)).
