While I appreciate the benefit of the doubt, I'll confess that my 
list-mailing was intended, tho I certainly didn't mean to swamp the list 
with the discussion that ensued as a result! I'm still of two minds on 
the whole issue myself.

I read and respond to email offline, so without a live connection 
available to me when I saw the request (or as I'm writing this), so the 
only way for me to reasonably get the files you asked for to you was to 
simply attach them to a reply -- thinking "I'll post them on a web page 
and email links next time I'm online" is all well and good, but you'd 
still be waiting for me to remember. :) I suppose I could have emailed 
them just to you, but it seemed likely that others would be looking for 
the same files. Perhaps I went a little too far applying the "it's not 
that hard to hit Delete" rule, and for that (and the pain caused list 
members with slow connections or problematic MUAs), I do apologize.
