Required space to store a post is very little, though it can add up over the long term. Space would be better freed by deleting old, obselete Posts (such as 4 year old Posts that nobody cares about), rather than new ones.

What you say is of course true. But then when it comes time to upgrade bandwidth, CPU, harddrive space, and software; in a business there will always be an "audit" of what those things are going toward, whether that what was in mind when it started, and whether its worthwhile to upgrade for it. The fact that its "very little" would be a better point for fan sites than for business sites. Now dont jump to interpret some gloom and doom from that. Im just making a point to your point. Of course its obvious that the SEIV forum does a wonderful job of supporting the SEIV game.
