Dear Naomi and Rick,
I suspect a computer glitch at your end to explain the sending of at least 5
349 K
messages (FIVE!!!, after 5 my email download crashed. It doesn't like large
files for
some reason) . If it wasn't computer error, you should be ashamed. I consider
ONE
unsolicited 349K file to be intrusive and abusive of the list, especially
when most of
it is unreadable formatting garbage which is not converted by my browser. I
then had
to go online to my mail server website and delete your gargantuan files
before I could
get the rest of my mail. Altogether you have wasted nearly 45 minutes of my
valuable
time. Luckily I have unlimited access but not everybody does, in which case
you
probably cost a lot of people more than just time. If you had to pay us all
back, you
would be in the hole for your design course. If you wish to let us know about
events
in the future, please abbreviate, DO NOT SEND FORMATTED DOCUMENTS (!!!) and
refer us
to a webpage or say, "Reply to sender for further info". Please do not send
unsolicited documents larger than 150 K to the list.
Keith Johnson
