Yep, and it isn't a laughing matter.

Back in the "old days" when the Sysop of a BBS had to pay out of his/her 
pocket for the cost of phone calls - often at long distance or timed 
called charges - to collect /send mail it was the accepted practice for 
messages to be trimmed to the bare-bone when replying, for example. 
Everything was done on dial-up with baud speeds at 300, 1200, 2400, 9600 
bps.

But now this is not known to most people and so they clog up the 'net 
with useless horse manure.
