            Having followed this list for the previous year, I can not say
    that any and all possible attachments waste any more time than some of
    the conversations that take place. It gets ridiculous... For me, it's
    down to about 1 of every 10 threads and 1 of every 25 posts that holds
    any interest of useful information... Those are approaching my unusable
    limits....
