Hello,

I am really glad you made this announcement.  I will not open files unless I know someone personally so I have missed what look like good items.  Yet I will not take the chance due to virus scares.  So, again thank you for reminding people not to send them.

Warmest regards,
Mike Koontz

As Miekal and Lon have noted in different ways, attachments should 
not be uploaded to the list.  I found the info about grafting to be 
interesting, and I think it was sent with the best of intentions.  
However, that is beside the point, as the guidelines for this list 
states no attachments.

Many people still have (slower) dial-up connections, which means 
large attachments can take 10+ minutes to download.  Secondly, as 
virus-writers become ever more devious, opening a large attachment is 
fraught with danger, even if it appears to come from someone you 
know.  

Miekal has offered a solution that would appear to offer a solution.  
Perhaps he can give more specific instructions on how to upload to 
the permaculture wiki.  In the future people can post the LINK to the 
item in question, saving bandwidth and making people feel more 
secure.

Thanks,

GREG MILLER
