Wow. Maybe it didn't translate to en_US or something. I really don't see how it's offensive to question whether sending proprietary binary files to our list is appropriate behaviour.
It isn't. And it isn't. Sad thing is, a little something called netiquette is not being taught, absorbed or practiced much anymore. I'm on a lot of discussion lists. Most of them do not allow any attachments at all, for very good reasons. If one does not understand the reasons, one should educate oneself before joining the list. It's called cultural awareness. Heck, some lists I'm on don't even allow HTML emails. Good thing, too. As for what sparked this divergence in the first place, I believe it was a bit of personal corporate promotion. That is not appropriate on a list such as this, IMHO. If one wishes to promote oneself, do it offlist. Onlist one might be thought of as spamming. cheers rickw -- ________________________________________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services || Internet Driving Instructor The best way to accelerate a PC is 9.8 m/s2 -- anon
