Hear! Hear! I don't have broadband at home because I think it's a waste of money for the quality of service I would get. Obviously, several of you agree with me, but some of you are paying for it anyway. I think that about covers all of the points I find relevant to my situation. I would venture a guess that aside from the couple of people perpetuating this debate, that covers most everyone else too. Any further beating of this dead parrot should probably be taken off-list, it has been nailed to the perch for far too long. By the way, I think that the "all you have to do is hit delete" is the same argument that spammers use to legitimize their wasting of my time with fruitless email that doesn't concern me. Shame on you. :) Anyone worried about the bandwidth SPAM takes up should take a look at the 30+ message history of this "discussion". Thanks!

But he does have a valid point. This thread has degenerated into a fruitless argument between a few users trying to convince each other by going round in circles. Haven't seen a new argument on this off-topic thread for some long time. And I doubt any of you will change each others minds.
