: I don't mean to sound like a prick but what a silly argument.  1) A waste
: of bandwidth? 2 additional lines is really not a waste of bandwidth.  2)
: Screen space? 2 Lines (unless in 320x200) is not a lot of screen space -
: either.

it's not just 2 lines.  It's 2 lines x # of subscribers x messages per day.
Assuming a "line" is 40 characters, there are 1000 subscribers, and 50
messages per day, that's 4 megabytes per day extra.

: If having the text at the bottom removes even 1 Ignorant person from the
: list, then it's worth it don't you think?

Yeah I'd agree with that.  I'd maybe just put one line though.
