I won't respond to private emails that are on topic for urg

Off topic, but does it really take longer to download longer posts?

I know the answer is intuitively 'yes', but since upgrading to broadband,
I've noticed no improvement in the time take to download news. My e-mail
flies now but news is still the same speed so it looks like most of the time
spent downloading news is not actually spent in the transfer of the data but
in some other task.

Any ideas anyone?

And if only everyone top-posted, we wouldn't have to scroll down through it
all ;-)
