- It's one thing to screw up once, It's another to send out 1 file thats so
- large it has to be sent in 28 Parts! Come on get real. Hell I figured out
- myself NOT to post Binary Files in a NON-Binary Group, without acually doing
- it. I sure wouldn't post it here. I've had people ask be to post up my
- almost 20 Meg System 7.5.1 file with the Latest Netscape, Stuffit Expander,
- MacPPP, etc. Only thing is it's a bit to Large, let alone where the hell I
- would post it at, Though I guess I could post it here, NOT!
-
- I could understand some lamer from AOL doing that crap.
