Rather than worrying about the cost of wasted bandwidth, be glad you still
have an unrestricted flow of information. We have to take the good with the
bad in any free flowing information system. The governments, censors, and

free speech and they use people with your attitude as their minions. You
will get exactly what you deserve. Tail wags dog...
