Eight copies of the same picture eat up as much bandwidth as one copy.

Yes, it does use more bandwidth but you can make up the difference by omitting the spaces between your words and don't use paragraph or line breaks.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

No. But your superfluous use of commas will crash the interwebz.

My wife is popping pop corn in the microwave. She set the first bag on five and not all of it popped. The second bag she set on six - it burnt. She said, “I have to put the next bag on 5.3, which is half way”. It took me about 0.2 seconds but I understood.

ESC = Escape Upper left corner of keyboard.

I’m hoping Dusty is having as much fun with his thread as we are.

Hey, Dusty, just a suggestion for you. Why don’t you see if you can have your screenname changed to, “DUSTY ROAD”. ;)

If I've started a problem, then I ask the mod’s to lock this thread.

Don't you dare! These threads are fun.

Serious answer: the binary string sent is the same size for every ASCII character and the extra characters required for markup (bold, color, larger font etc) are insignificant for broadband connections.

No back to snarking.
