   Those are for announcement lists etc.  Lots of times you want people to be 
able to sign up and get info without anyone but the list originator being able 
to post..

   Answer to your question is that people would use it.  If they gave 10 gigs, 
they'd have 10 gigs of crap from way too many lists.  At least this way people 
either have to clean it out or go to the bother of making another list.  Just a 
way to slow down the endless expansion.

   They could easily allow putting in an application for more space, that would 
take 6 months or something to get, and only after a group has been active for 6 
months prior.  That would mainly limit it to real groups, and not just everyone 
setting one up applying for 100 megs or similar.

   Chopping picture quality down really doesn't affect most non-text JPGs too 
badly either.  The pics I had were 250K+ until I chopped them down.  Hardly 
changed them at all visually, could have set to even lower quality setting and 
been ok, but it's on my space so it doesn't matter much.
