Subject: RE: FLASH: ADMIN: a suggestion

Actually, I carefully trimmed mine to illustrate my point. The server
generously added another copy to further illustrate my point.

I appreciate the work admin does, and some form of compensation is in order.
Whether that needs to be of the form of adding a fairly large promotion to
each and every email is my question. As he mentions in a later email, each
character anyone sends adds 2K to his - and everyones - download. I count
around 700 bytes in the sponsorship message. I received 74 emails (and 74
sponsorship messages) over the last 24 hours. Lessee here - 74 emails * 700
bytes * 2000 subscribers = 100+ megabytes.

Could there be a less wasteful and less intrusive way to do this?
