Sigh. Apparently I was mistaken when I chose *not* to include
<sarcasm></sarcasm> tags in my message. Sorry to have confused those
who didn't notice my other messages where I (sincerely) argued the
opposite of the above.

For those who need explicit confirmation: I was being frivolous for
effect. Believing you should waste things because you imagine them to
be unlimited is silly. Nothing is unlimited, at least not right now.
Adding more bandwidth to the Internet might be easier and cheaper
than perfecting cold fusion but it's not free and it's not unlimited.
