Hi…
Oops
–
apologies, I tend to not snip the messages as I should do …
it’s a ‘bad habit’
really.. – and as I’m at work, the connection speed isn’t
really a limiting
factor for me at the moment ..
Nah,
not
taken personally… I’ll try and remember to snip
messages!
Kind
regards,
Jonathan.

NOT
a thread for Yahoo whinging, just some interesting stats
Another interesting stat:
In my last
post
(in reply to Stuart's post) I cut all but the line I
was
responding
to and then added my comment. The resultant post was
2Kb.
Looking up
the
list a few posts is one from Jonathan Tawn (sorry
Jonathan,
I'm
not picking on you it is just an example) where the
history of
the
thread (a few posts deep) has been kept. His message
is
57Kb.
We have had
this
debate before, and I know it is always easier to
just type
and
send without snipping. But with our average message
size of 5Kb
we
have 15 months until we hit the limit. We wouldn't
last 2
months if
every message was 50Kb!

P.S. The
arguement has shifted from one of bandwidth to one of
storage, now
message size could potentially affect us all, not just
those with
slow
connections.
