Hi:

Thank you to whomever provided the .wav files of George, but I must say that you might give some thought to helping me pay for my long distance phone bill to download it. <g>

I pay for access to the internet by the minute (.15 cents) plus a monthy fee. My newgroup reader downloads ALL messages in this group and those .wav files took a long time to download.

I didn't even want them.

Why don't you just offer those .wav files to folks who do want them (and request them) you could attach them as e-mail to persons reqquestiong instead of taking up so much bandwith transferring them via the newsgroup.

This message is not intened to be a flame or a criticism, just a plea for help in keeping my phone bill within a reasonable tolerance.

Oh shut the hell up you whiney jack-ass.if you cant afforde the bill then get a better internet server that doesnt charge by the minute! And the wav. files only download if you click on them.That means you intentionally did that,so shutup.

I know on the old version of Forte Agent that I had, if you wanted to get all the messages in a news group, it got the files as well, because they are posted in mime format.. __________________________________________ Ben B Dallas, Texas [email] -- http://web2.airmail.net/~benb1/
