Just wondering, because the posting of .wavs and .gifs almost caused another ng I subscribe to to be removed from the server.

<snipped> I suggest either listing an URL to a site with a particular .wav or .jpg file or offering to email the file to anyone who would like it. Let's not mess up this group.

I like collecting wavs, but I agree with everyone else - actual posts of wavs, jpgs, gifs, bmps, etc should be in alt.binaries.sounds.tv
