Summary: Sites that are concerned about cost will compress their news


  Sites that are really concerned about cost will compress their news.
Those that do not compress obviously have local feeds, money to burn,
or more money for phone bills than spare CPU cycles. At any rate, from
all this discussion, it seems as though uuencode/compress penalizes
the very sites that have expressed enough concern about phone
costs to do something about it. Please don't do it.
