Beat the heat: email

 I have contributed the following suggestion! Sending emails raises the temperature. As individual characters of an email are pushed through the Ethernet cables, they scrape the sides, which results in friction, which results in heat. (The bigger the characters, the more they drag along the sides of the cables.)
So to keep heat to a minimum, I am recommending that people:
- Send as few emails as possible.
- Keep them as short as possible.
- Use small letters.
I think that this suggestion alone will reduce cooling load significantly.
