[sorry to be late replying to this... I was on a  nice beach vacation]

I wrote earlier:
"Hmm. OK. So why  didn't  you complain about attachments last year? Or did I
just miss   that??"

And Dan Hogan replied:
"I can only answer WHY DIDN'T YOU READ  the Navigation-L Welcome message???

Dan, I read it carefully. I noticed  the 'no attachments' line when I first
signed up in late 2003 and thought 'hmm,  a little old-fashioned, but
harmless'. Then just three weeks after I joined, I  noticed an attachment added to a
list message... and a number of others in the  following months, nearly all of
them appropriate and relevant. And so I thought,  'aha. an enlightened list
manager who realizes that attachments can be useful  and only keeps a no
attachment policy on paper'. Those previous attachments  [from such list members as
Fred Hebard, Joel Jacobs, and Richard Langley] were  not 'slammed' as violations
of list policy, and they did not draw weird  accusations of "contempt" and
"subversion". So THAT is why I asked you why you  (and George, for that matter)
didn't complain about attachments last year.  Simple as that.
