How many times do we have to tell people - don't send attachements to the list? It's stupid, inconsiderate, and irritating. A lot of us in the backwoods pay for connect time, have slow feeds and no way to refuse large messages/attachments - what happens with me is my computer is tied up for five minutes while the stupid thing unloads, and then it is inevitably in a form I can't open anyhow. Someone sent one a while back that took forever to download, and would bomb before it finished. I lost my Email for a weekend as a result - Everytime I tried to check my Email, the evil thing would start downloading again, then bomb. No way to get rid of it from my end, had to wait until monday to call the server and have them erradicate it on their machine. If you've got something big you think some people on the list may want to see, just tell them you have it, and Email it to anyone who asks. But don't waste the bandwidth for the rest of us with it. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
