Paul,
Just a thought here...as you're right, having some modicum of
consideration for those who have cost issues with bandwidth (I'll content
that we are not spoiled, and that we...ok...most of us...pay for the
bandwidth we use...TANSTAFL). However, you are assuming that anyone who
wishes to potentially send a file along here can just as easily host
one. Not, I think, a valid assumption...and one which, for many...would
cost money. So, who gets to pay? Either someone is paying to download,
if they are on a pay-as-you go model, or someone is going to pay to
host...either way, it's not quite as simple as you've made it out to be.
