In the end, we're talking about a lot of data.
if 1024 bytes is equal to 1 Kilobyte, then 6741/1024 = 6.5 KB. yea, that can add up BUT, its not much of an issue if the file is already cached, in which case you only need to worry about it one time. Same goes for my sig, even though it is 4 images, it is the same image used 4 times. The browser will only save 1 copy of it and repeat it over each spot. I had to change it from actual animated gifs because someone had taken the file size of 1 of them and multiplied it by 4, making it above the file size limit, though it really isnt.
