What a ****ing waste of bandwidth

I've never really understood this statement, I hear it all
the time, but where's the shortage of bandwidth?
If you're from some third world country that only
has Internet for a few minutes a day or something, isn't
that really your problem?

At most, it's a click of the mouse to avoid any post
and to complain about something as minor as that
is really quite bizarre. Yet people do it all the time.
So what's really going on?

Maybe it was a waste of space because it wasn't
entertaining enough for you? Or maybe you wanted
some pictures to go with it? Was it too long?
If the post had been the opposite, say, a post
about having a great time out on vacation, would
that have been worthy enough for you? Granted that
most vacation stories are a bit lacking in excitement.

Or are you just worried about the server and trying
to help their bottom line? That's it, you're being
a good Samaritan by keeping the bandwidth safe
for us, the worthy posters. And keeping the server
economically healthy to insure an uninterrupted flow of
bandwidth. Even though this is going on and on, I'm
not trying to waste your precious empty space, really, I
want to know these answers.

Why do you waste bandwidth, the bandwidth you seem
to worship, with such a miserable response?
Which post, the original or yours, displays a higher
level of misery? And which kind of misery should
be flamed, physical or spiritual?

And keep your answers short please.
