	you are both rather silly!  when I indicate that something is
	available for FTP, that tells those that can access it that they
	don't need to ask anyone else for the the favor to forward it
	by e-mail.  others can ask a net-friend who has access to retrieve
	the file and forward it.  Myself, I have yet to turn down anyone
	asking me to forward a file...

	...of course, people who have nothing better to do but to air
	negative feelings towards exactly those people who are doing
	the net-community the favor of posting information about the 
	existence and availability of files (and who can, and, probably, 
	would respond favorably to a request to forward by e-mail) ...

	...well, those party-poopers probably don't have the social skills
	to make friends over the net!!!
