So after stating you don't claim to own the newsgroup you go on again to state your personal beliefs as to how it is / should work.

No one to my knowledge makes attachments explicitly for you. They post documents to share on the newsgroup. Every time someone does you complain about it. I am asking you to stop. It is not against the rules. Is this clear?

I never claimed to.


There are some people who cannot
provide the sorts of links you are referring to.

What I was hoping to do was make myself clear enough that people wouldn't make such attachments for me. I don't want unsolicited attachments. But the person to whom I replied post an 50K attachment for me that I didn't even want. Seeing that too much was being lost I the translation, I tried to make myself abundantly clear. Apparently it was pretty unambiguous. I hope it translated okay.


You should be able to configure your client not
to automatically download them I would imagine.

We can all dream. But there is no way.


if we did not want to allow attachments we would
explicitly turn them off.

My wish indeed.
