Totally true. Before the days when The Internet became as ubiquitous as
it is now, I would post to a mail network called Fidonet. This was
carried around the world by amateurs, primarily using dial-up modems and
often very slow modems < 2400bps at their own expense. Not trimming
replies, top posting, and huge sigs would soon get you banned because of
the unnecessary expense incurred. The modem is long gone but the habit
has remained! :)
