and of bandwidth!
having 1000 list-members subscribed to the IBO-List, broadcasting one
message only means between 1MB and 3 MB depedning of the size of the
message. having an average of 1000 messages per month, this means pushing
probably 3GB of traffic through the wire on a not-constant basis but in
large impulses. A normal ISP would take quite some money for such stuff I
think.
