> Sure, Bowen, it's all relative. But that doesn't mean you can't take a
piddly 2 seconds to delete unnecessary quoting and sigs. Learn how to use
newsgroups correctly, man. Your quoting REALLY looks like crap when it
breaks up like it does. Take some pride in your computer usage and learn how
to use it more efficiently. It benefits everyone in the long run, including
you.

But, didn't you make the subject line longer and then in fact cause it to
take up more memory? Where's that efficiency?? Everything is relative:
time, money, awarness, life in general. Only 2 seconds? Not if I want to
make it perfect for you. Everyone is too picky, which is why I gave up. So
why'd you requote your old quote that I quoted? I thought you only quote
what you're replying too?

I'm using a non-usenet newsgroup, there's no rules that say I have to clean
up my messages. Dear god I'm not the only one doing this, like I said 99%
of other users don't care and don't do it. Why single me out? Pride in my
computer usage? Computers are tools. If I want to be the uber efficient
master, I'd do it. I simply use it to get what I need to get done, and then
have some fun. Who's going to benefit from a 1 kb shorter message? Jeez,
it takes a 14.4 modem 1 second supposedly to download 1 kb file. Did you
notice I cleaned up all the stuff too? No.. probably not until I pointed
that out.

Tampering with the original message has dire consequences later on too.
Say.. someone wants proof but the original message is gone now? They won't
believe you until they see the signature, what then? It's all relative like
you said. Computers are relative too, they're just pieces of
metal/silicon/whathaveyou with electricity flowing through them and some
moving parts here and there with magnets, nothing more. Measuring the data
is relative too. You can't measure anything exactly, because there's always
something smaller. Maybe my 3 kb post was really 2.98 kb's or really
2.9999999999999998. We're just wasting even more bandwidth and storage
space fighting an extremely stupid battle that can't be won. Neither of us
will budge. I'm too lazy, you're too stubborn. That's life. Wait, isn't
that relative too? :D

Dedicated to make make long posts for eep in this thread, to waste some more
bandwidth and storage space.
