If you read the timestamp on the email, I sent the
second one in at 3:23PM.  The first post, which
_still_ hasn't hit the board, was mailed at 9:14AM.  I
think it's safe to say it's not going to get posted. 
Also, you didn't even have to waste your time once. 
Don't bother reading emails you think are going to be
a waste of time.

First, I was asked to send the file to the list. 
Second, I made every effort to make the post as small
as possible by bzipping the file.  I hardly think 341k
is something worth crying about.

All this for a file that is < 1M?

Agreed, it is the 21st Century and bandwith is pretty
cheap these days.

Funny, but I don't remember you doing _anything_ to
help.  The problem has been solved.  In all the time I
have used lists and the Usenet I've generally noticed
that it's the people who spend their time complaining
about other people's posts (and wasting everyone's
precious bandwidth) that do the least to help.  Sorry
if you feel that I stepped on your toes, but I think
you're being a little overly sensitive. 

By the way Stuart, thanks, you're a real stand-up guy.

Justin
