Trevor,
What do you mean, "bounce list"? Obviously you are able to post to this
newsgroup or I wouldn't be responding.

Attaching a binary file to a post won't get you "fired". My
understanding about attachments is that responders outside the USA have
to pay connect charges for downloading when they open a post with an
attachment. The general rule is that posts should contain all
information in the post text itself. If a look at the actual file is
required, an MVP will generally ask that you send it directly to them.

Julie,
Not true, at least for me. I have a simple dial up modem with unlimited
access and I can download anything - although it may take a while.

and i'm on adsl (broadband) with 300MB per month download limit which i
never ever go anywhere near using so i don't tend to worry about attachments
except from the virus point of view ...

i do however, think it's a good idea to "encourage" people not to add
attachments as most things can be explained and answered without them ...

btw Trevor - i was wondering the other day as to where you had got to as its
been over a year since i've notice a post / reply from you

Cheers
