No worries.
1. But this is making assumptions on why other people run nodes, right? Since you acknowledge that _you_ primarily run a node for your own benefit (and not taking your tx fees into account; that’s the next point), I don’t think you can honestly argue that 1MB of OP_RETURNs is worse for the performance of your node than 1MB (or more) of data in any other part of a block?..
2. Do you think spam will persistently outbid monetary transactions for block space?
Thanks for taking the time, I know this has been dragging on for a while now…
