It says at the end of the Web interface and I quote:

Attachments
You may not post attachments to this newsgroup.

So what else is there to asume? That suddenly you are gonna tell me *how* to
post an attachment without me never occuring to ask because the newsletter
systems SAYS YOU CAN'T POST ATTACHMENTS, and that by then, I might just get
lucky. AHHHH *TILT* WRONG ANSWER. Sorry...I've been done with Totalitarism a
long time ago.

Wait for you to show up and show me the way.
THERE'S NO SCARCITY. NEXT!!!

And yes...get pissed/offended/annoyed/frustated/laugh at me/consider me
ridiculous/whatever "just give this whole thing a meaning" and do any of
those, I don't care. Is your responsability to do so as is to do nothing.

And If your point is saying that I'm working against myself here, just look
at Steve's answer. Oh sorry, didn't ya before?

Of course I did. As I expected you just do not have a sense of humor to
percieve that last sentence. Again it just fits the rest of what you show.
Test Approved. (No, I don't expect you to understand this neither)


Thanks James, you Just answered all the suspicions I had about your way of
thinking.


Good thing there are still people like Steve out there, people you can
reason with. "Much appreciate your answer Steve I admire You for Doin'
that". You do not need to cover insecurities with false pride.

Selfish.. Guilty as CHARGHE...likely to help...Guilty as CHARGE...I just
don't do so many questions...I don't need to. Since I can find answers in
so many other different ways.

Don't worry, I don't expect you to get these things together into your head
as a possible/viable way that can work together.


been done with your kind since a long time ago, ponitless to talk to a
square head.It always have been.

AND YES, FEEL FREE TO CALL ME MORON.
