Bandwidth is the information carrying capacity of the cables and wires that connect computers together. Even the most high tech cables have a limit to the amount of information they can carry, so you need to remember that there are physical limits to cyberspace. As a responsible netizen it is part of the deal that you make an effort not to waste bandwidth.
Not every one can connect into the Internet from school or business, many people have Internet accounts at home which means they have to pay for them. So while it may not cost you anything to send a long, rambling post, it might cost the recipient money to receive it.
So how can you save bandwidth, time, and people's money? Think about the message you are sending. Is it worth saying? Sometimes in discussion lists a topic will spring up and everyone will want to have their say. Think about whether or not you have something new to add to the discussion, a message with something like, "What she said." is a waste of bandwidth.
