Fact is, I did not really know how much the bandwidth usage would be until I posted it. My DSL at home downloads the whole article in less than two seconds.
But at work, I have to use a 56k mobile connection. Having used that connection to access the thread, I do confess an apology to those who only use 56k connections... it IS a long download.
In all honesty, I have just gotten spoiled by my 1.4Meg connection at home and did not realize how big a file it is for the 56k users. Mea culpa, Me maxima culpa. But, if you want to accuse me of vanity and lack of kindness, that's fine. (shrugs). I don't really mind your name-calling; do as you wish.
Best,
OP
I find if I have a long post I put down some of the highlights and link the rest. Its polite to Jim and the poster to not have to comb through endless post once they have read it.
Maybe I should not have been so quick to say those things to you, it could have been you didn't think of it in those terms.
