RE: Forum Alpha Testing

[Stuart Poulton <swp@xxxxxxx>]

Ok,

I'm going to stop this right now as this is not the time or the place.
With regards to bandwidth, if you've ever been involved in network
design and implementation then it is facinating, and technically very
interesting.

Another thing to consider is what if yahoo decided to start charging
for
actual volume of e-mail ? Then a 2 line message contains 6 lines of old
yahoo sig lines, then this would be a problem.

I do however now consider this closed !

Regards

Stuart
