Re: attachment acrimony



Gee, Robert, it's nice to see such tolerance. Maybe you should follow the
rest of the dialogue and see how some people have assisted rather than
assume some moral high-ground.

Those people helped me solve the problem. And I thank them.
Like it or not, the days of XyWrite 128 are gone, and gone for good. Now we're on the WWW, with all its "standards", there will be glitches, deliberate or not. It might help you and other shoot-from-the-hip specialists to consider intent: do people do things deliberately, and when they're drawn to their attention, do they try to fix them?

But I'm wasting my time and others' time responding to you, aren't I?

"Slightly" annoying? "Gratuitously" rude? It would be gratuitous -- without

have the rules (no HTML, no pointless verbatim quoting) been
reiterated here? Twenty? Thirty? How many off-topic msgs have been sent
dealing with the consequences, such as that virus that somebody was dragging
around a few weeks ago? How many minutes have been wasted checking
those stupid attachments for content? Carl *very courteously* discusses this
in his welcome.msg (to the CCAT forum)! It's a total PITA. The real problem
is a memory leak in the EXEcutors who perpetrate this.
