TRAIN KEPT A' ROLLIN

[Kevin Sommers]

Maybe I can beam some light on this: about a year ago, new to the list and
the computer world in general, I attached a WAV file to a post which I felt
might interest many on the list.  I learned QUICKLY (and I agree completely,
having had some time to think about it...) that people in general do NOT
like receiving unsolicited large files in their e-mail.  With some systems,
or with some connections, it either slows things down to worse than a crawl,
or trashes things completely.  When someone sees "receiving message" or
whatever, then 30 minutes later are still stuck downloading the same mailing
with no way to cancel, well, emotions tend to get a bit heated.
