All,
Thinking further (actually, coming up with solutions rather than problems),
perhaps a solution to this issue would be to have Shawn or another
old-time/gonna be here forever listee volunteer to keep a small text file
with the solution to the pollution (damn! I'm a poet!) and privately email
it to any list newbies whose software is doing this.
Any volunteers? I'll write it if you distribute it. I'd do it myself, but
my Outlook filters that stuff out. And I'm not in digest mode...
Rgds,
Dave

Hmmm. Seems to me that the alternatives to NOT returning to this every
couple of months are a) an ever increasing number of posters sending
garbage, lengthening downloads and generally frustrating people, or b) not
allowing new people to join the list.
Not a real, real good set of options, if you ask me.
Rgds,
Dave

What I find far more annoying than attachments is how often this thread
comes up (talk about "email pollution"). With new people joining the list
every day, nothing is served by returning to this every couple months IMHO.
