[quote=@Etcetera] Technically quotes only function when packets are able to be sent and received (i.e. when there is internet connection) because they rely on the server while @mentions do not (I'm not sure why Mahz made this distinction). So, quotes are just the slightest bit less efficient and reliable than @mentions. That the body is inefficient. [/quote] They do not require more effort. You made an irrelevant point. "How inefficient it is" doesn't necessarily mean "inefficient overall" though the human body definitely is, it could also mean "not efficient enough" which is what I meant. There is absolutely no reason we should produce anything other than liquid waste.
