        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....
