It has nothing to do with you.  Bandwidth's intent is to keep proposals down 
to a manageable level each nweek.  The proposal is simply bringing the game 
into line with that intent.

If we want to allow bandwidth storage, we might as well make a rule that 
says "For each player, there exists a society named "X's Bank", where X is 
that player's name, with the charter "This society give bandwidth X whenever 
e states it does.".  At the end of each nweek, all bandwith of each player 
is transferred to X's Bank."  For otherwise, everyone will just make said 
society, charter, and automation script.
