Guys, while most of us in the US are lucky to have access to T1s, DSL, and Cable-Modems, there are people on this list from other parts of the world where Internet access is by 14.4kbps modem and paid for BY THE MINUTE. It's extremely rude, insensitive, and inconsiderate to force-feed someone a binary attachment, especially a large one. Doing so makes the sender no better than a spammer. If you MUST share a binary attachment with the list, put it on a web site (you can get one for free, you know) and send the list the URL to the site. That way the people who want the attachment can go get it while those who don't can delete the message without spending a lot of time and money downloading it. This is simply basic netiquette. -Mike Rodriguez <mikey@mi*.ne*> http://www.mikey.net/aue Pn(x) = (1/(2^n)n!)[d/dx]^n(x^2 - 1)^n
