Eggsackly - why pay n times the price to download the same old stuff n
times when one reads it only once

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 ;-)

In which case it would be impossible to disentangle the logical development
of the thread.
