Sadly it seems like some of our members in a freenzy to post stuff never body looking at what is going on first as you well know. Just keep on filling those harddisks up with reduntant material, so Jim has to aks for another 10 grand every six months to add to the disk arrays as they fill up. Bit insane.Hey, Uncle. Posting a new post vs posting an old post is how many bits saved? What a joke! How much bandwidth is save by a single post with the data at the top vs. serving 10 pages to everyone who wants to search a 700000 post thread to find stuff....
Sound exactly like leftys that demand we have a 40mpg car and then waste gas going to Burning Man anyway.

Fair statement. And I won't offer a rebutal, until I find out just what kind of structure Jim uses to run this site from the storage/access/retrieval point of view, e.g. a database either relational or hierarchy in nature or something entirely different. But your point is well taken.
