I have to agree that it's not that "smaller is better". For me, smaller
is all I know how to do. Larger is more of a challenge!

However, having said that, I have to agree that in the case of your two
hypothetical ASCII pictures, the smaller one generally gets my
admiration first as well for the same reason that you stated.

its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
