I believe the reason for this was to accomodate people with dial-up.  This
way they don't need to worry about long hitting long DL times when chacking
a text-only group.  I know a lot more people have high-speed these days, but
I'm sure there are still some out there using dial-up, so I'm not sure if
this is a good idea for that reason.
