For someone to:

     1) post complaints about the wasted bandwidth of RTF posts
and  2) post a 700K *sound* file in a non-binary group

is simply not called for.

It would have been so much more brilliant of Mark if he had posted an  
article with two directory icons in it.  We've just had several of those go  
by in RTF format, and he could have made his point quite well without  
thumbing his nose at usenet guidelines.  

It would have been a perfect way to introduce MIME to this newsgroup.  

But He seems to have been more interested in "getting back" at us for  
whatever wrongs he feels we have done to him.  In one article he's posted  
more bytes than goes thru comp.sys.next.misc in an average day (probably  
more than several days worth, in fact).
