I'm sure too, but there's also another drop of water we could throw
in the ocean by cleaning our e-mails from all the unnecessary quotes,
right?
I receive Nature Recordist's excellent posts as a daily digest. The last
one (#3720) contained 1572 lines of text (Yahoogroups footers not included),
but could have contained 475 lines with a little cleaning! Do we really
need terabytes hard disks just to receive and archive our e-mails? Sorry
to be off-topic, but information _has_ an environmental cost and we shall
be aware of it too:
- On the cost of e-mails

- The hidden costs of PC waste

Have a nice week everybody,
