It would be interesting to see what percentage of total
volume and what percentage of each group volume was made up of
headers and footers.  By what percent would total net volume
drop if cute .signatures were eliminated and a standard
disclaimer were appended to all articles.  (Rather than having
each person come up with the obligatory disclaimer...)

This should save at least the couple of percent that the major
groups consume.
