Yup, normally I wouldn't be so hard on people like that, but trust me I've
had enough experience as a list owner to see what happens when someone asks
for a file to be sent to them, it triggers off some kind of wild thing
where everyone wants the same thing because they're curious, and given that
this is a Winamp list, we want to stick to that. I know it sounds like I'm
being unusually tough on some of you, but I believe in having a very high
quality list where people's questions are answered in the best way
possible. We don't always get to that high of a goal, but we sure
try. Anyways, yep if you want a file, just get ahold of the guy off list
and do it that way. Makes everyone happy, including me. heheheheheheheh.
