Yeah, I agree.
The limited bandwidth we have
Limited bandwidth? Surely you jest. Even if every person with an Internet connection subscribed to OpenSUSE@OpenSUSE.org, this drivel would remain an infinitesimal portion of the data traffic on the Internet.
Face it, all these "bandwidth" arguments, when applied to email lists, are utterly false. The internet traffics in digital media (audio and video) on a grand scale. A smattering of moronic "yo' mamma" traffic on one email distribution list is miniscule just by comparison to the spam traversing the 'Net. Uhm.. afaik we're talking about analog modem users, those with 56k or even lower, who have to wait a few minutes till they've all their mails ;)
