Twice nothing is still nothing, so is three or four times nothing.
If a 2 KB message becomes an 8 KB message or even an 80 KB message,
so what? It's not like you're cutting down an extra forest to make
the paper.
Thirty years ago, when a 20 MB HDD and a 4.77 MHz CPU was top of
the line, maybe it mattered. Today, that's a wristwatch.
So you might think, but, just as there are those that are not on
ADSL/Cable connections yet, so there are those (pick me) with very
limited e-mail accounts (e.g. 500KB) and if everyone had the same
arrogant attitude that you seem to have, it would be costing
(unemployed) money each day!!
This isn't arrogance; I don't think I'm better than you.
Reality is that dialup accounts are very rare nowadays in the first
world, and so are 500 KB limits. Designing for such criteria
unnecessarily hamstrings the majority who routinely download 500 KB in
less than a second and multi-gigabyte movies in under an hour.
I hope things turn around for you soon and you get a modern connection
that serves your needs better.
