Yo, assholes.
Not all of us have free T3 lines. In fact some of us have to
*pay* to get this list, over V.32 (or even V.22) modems. And I
feel sorry for the poor non-UNIX weenies who don't have a uudecode.
Next time you want to send somebody 800K of bits, mail it to him.
Luckily for you, I'm not a vindicative sort, so I won't send
Savage Henry and his friends from the Opium Tong to knock out your
teeth with a ball-peen hammer before stuffing live, rabid,
LSD-saturated weasels into your mouths head-first.
Not this time, anyway.

OK, here's the deal: the digestifier doesn't like big files or files
with large amounts of binary data. I don't have time to fix it every
time it barfs, so please don't send anything over 10K or anything that
isn't relatively normal ASCII. You only hurt the CAUSE when you do
so, and believe me, the Slack patrol will be notified.
If you have a GIF, put it up for FTP and send a pointer. Or, better
yet, print it out and glue it to a telephone pole.
