The annoying attachment that this guy refers to, was on my recent = message titled "a bit of history", and it=B4s a text file, in word = format, just for its ease of use, and for if somebody considerd it = interesting enough to keep. The text is four or five times shorter than = a big percentage of the messages I receive daily from LUG. But that=B4s = not the point. Particularily the guy that sent me this happens to be = "wasting bandwidth" all the time with issues like personal politic = views, and a long etc which by the way don=B4t interest ME a single bit = but I download them anyway. So I consider my message and its attachment to be of interest to a = potential big part of the group, and though I don=B4t think I=B4ll feel = the need of doing it again, but if I do I will.
