I think I'm about to get my ears singed <laugh>
Lee, I'm one of those people you described......the ones who just shut off my
computer. Before you crucify me though, remember what you just described. I
too went through the same thing, people jumping on even if I sent a message and
said I was going to disconnect. I finally decided that I didn't have time to
coddle people and adopted a "disconnect when I need to, not when the people
downloading allow me to" attitude. If someone doesn't complete their download,
it's easy to pick up from another source. I've done it many times.
