   Yup - and *much* preference to multiposting. Cross-posting to completely   
   different or trophy groups was the annoyance, mostly done by trolls.

   It's less than the electricity used when they are in use ;-)   
      
   However less - this depends on age, construction, type, and how much   
   power/cost you believe is significant.   
      
   Find yourself an AC plugin power meter and measure?   
      
   There are other metering methods for non-AC classes of equipment, a   
   clamp meter is a non-invasive measurer of current (and them hall-types   
   that also measure DC current are pretty useful in cars).
