You loose.
Flaming spelling errors is lame.

I send you personal email, you replied to the group and with CC to me. So I
reply the compliment.

And you 9 names below? Make up your mind.

You carried it to the group and intend to keep it here, and we are guilty.
Sure.

50KB at 28.8 is 1.5 hours ... assuming just 300 readers.
50KB in personal email (as we all started) is less than 20 seconds.

BTW, "you claim" is not me. I didn't claim. Get your attributions right.

6:9. You still loose.

Let them go ahead, I'd sure be willing to discuss calmly whatever I may have
done wrong. On email, that is.

[snip 'please boykott' and names ... *shrug* ... their loss.]

Just read your copyright laws first.
And then go ahead, make a fool out of yourself.
