Yeah, that is real clear.  I guess you are even (now) an expert on the
subject.

It took me a minute to get a file which was sent back to me.  That does
not appear to be a big file.  If you think it is, you need a new modem
or provider.

I've gained NOTHING by providing the information.  I also will not be
damaged by making any argument.  I thought I was actually providing good
information other than the typical "bondage wings", "stuff the long
hose", "wet suit and steel tanks", etc., etc. arguments.

If some idiot wants to exchange with me in public, my repsonse will be
similar if not worse.

> Do you know anything about politics? As in the way to respond to people?

Take your own advice.  Think about sending it private first and I might
be nicer depending on your e-mail.

Do you know what "SMD" stands for?  Go through the past files,my
"netiquette" might just be rated average.  But, I'm not running for
office either.   :)

To those that were offended by the "attachment" ... sorry, it was well
intended.

To those that thanked me for the information ... you are quite welcome.

To those that are still "pissed off", get a life!  There is a lot more
crap downloaded on this list (like these e-mails I'm responding to) on
a  daily basis than the attachement I sent.

Patrick
