It's not considered polite to transfer your files unsolicited onto a large number of other people's hard disks, forcing them all to wait for the file to download, blowing their email disk quotas in some cases, forcing everyone to then take time to remove the file from their attachment directory, etc. It's not a big deal with smaller files I guess, but a much better practice is to put the file on a website and give people the URL, or ask if anyone wants you to email it privately. There are a variety of netiquette sites online, I happened across this one in a brief search, but there are many others: http://members.aol.com/fionalist/info/netiquette.htm kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
