Are you of the opinion that the amount of resources necessary to transmit
a
150 or so line post to thousands of servers is somehow debilitating to the
system in a major way? Do you think that you, personally, would see a
major difference in server performance?

Most posts are not trimmed. If they were, the bandwidth required to carry
the non-binary Usenet newsgroups would probably drop by half or more.

It is each individual, thinking the way you do, that adds up to a complete
waste of bandwidth.

As for whether it affects server performance or not, who cares?
Wastefulness is wastefulness, and is bad no matter the consequences.

Of course, a person with a seven-line signature is obviously not worrying
about stuff like this. It's clearly a waste of time to try to change your
mind, but hopefully someone else with more common sense may see this
exchange and understand.
