Let me make it very easy because I used to be on the other end - There are still some 19 million Internet users (recent survey) in the United States that cannot get high speed internet access. For them, attachments can be a real pain. I remember one night on another list waiting almost a half hour for a message with an attachment to download - and of course, on my service, I had no other way to get to other messages until that downloaded. For many its not just a matter of what we would like to see.
For some it is also a matter of fees - there are some people who still get charged for the amount of bandwidth downloaded. For them it can be a pocketbooks issue. It's not a matter of trying to exclude likes - it is a matter of trying to include folks. I now have my high-speed, but only because I moved.
