    Yep... in this day and age when the Internet's been "mainstream" for
    several years there's really no excuse for that type of inconsiderate
    behavior.

    Don't know what's up with that, sounds like the list server is
    configured to just pass along whatever comes into it without any
    filtering.

    It was a video about someone flying a model airplane in a confined
    indoor space (a gym, or something like that). As I said in an earlier
    e-mail, semi-interesting but absolutely nothing to do with celnav, and
    I really didn't appreciate my e-mail download being held up by it - and
    I'm sure it would be even more irritating for the folks who are still
    on a dial-up connection.
