I was reading the ESPs for quite a while, then I just found them
uninteresting and stopped reading them. I'm sure that if I kept reading
that I might have learned something, but I remember in one day alone I
recieved over 100 messages for team.net about ESP. That is a lot of
time to read something that doesn't really apply to me.

I do drive a Saturn. It is a 91 SL2, and I do run the ES class. I
didn't join this list to get info exclusive to Saturns. That is why I
read the Saturn newsgroups and the SPC mailing list.

Bandwidth has to do with the amount of data that needs to be
transmitted, and the amount of room for it. A 56k modem running at 56k
speeds has more bandwidth than a 28.8k modem. More bandwidth means
faster downloads. The amount of bandwidth that I have, I'm on a school
network, takes me about a fraction of a second to retrieve a message. A
56k modem would probably take several seconds.
So I pitty the people that only check and download their mail once a
day, and have to wait for about 5 or so minutes as they pull down about
100+ messages.
