I see you posted another reply similar to this, but
anyway:
Those who have to rely on an attachment
seldom bother to properly describe the problem. And I
don't see an adequate description of the problem in
this case. At least show the answer wanted. For proper
documentation of the problem and solution the burden
then rests on the person answering so that the Google
Groups Archives will have an adequate description of a
problem and a solution.
As far as the attachment not being a big burden
that is certainly true as it is not placed on the
Microsoft servers, nor is it stored and transmitted from
many other servers, and best of all it is not downloaded
onto everyone's newsgroup messages that uses a
newsgroup reader. And hopefully the keeper of the
ExcelForum attempts to scan the attachments for viruses
as well as the person downloading them.

There is very little -- if any -- reason to chastise those who post
attachments via the Excelforum web interface. Excelforum ensures that
attachments are kept within its own web world and do not enter the
Usenet newsgroups. If you check the various posts you will find a
'Download attachment' statement and a corresponding URL. That means
that the newsgroup message is a text-only message, and that those who
want can get the attachment from the URL.
