OK, I might agree, but the thing is that keeping the limitations we're
discussing here does cost *me* something. So, you're saying option B is
not ok because it costs you something compared to option A, but the fact
that option A costs someone else something compared to option B doesn't
matter. Excuse me, but that's selfish.

Short term problems. In the long run, the problems you're suggesting
won't exist or will be so small compared to everything else that the
just don't matter, due to more powerful computers, higher bandwidths,
etc. In short: progress.

I just don't agree and I have repeatedly given imo strong arguments for
my position. I give up.
