my sugestoin to gmaiial
Sir,
It's a massive hassle that GMail refuses to send zip files as attachments if they contain executables. It just screwed me again: I built a DLL and tried to mail it to my work account. GMail gave me the finger. This happens to me a lot, and it really gets on my nerves.
I understand that you're concerned about morons screwing themselves and all their friends, and that's a legitimate humanitarian position to take, but some of us are [software] developers. Not only are we well outside the scope of reasonable humanitarian (indeed, human) interest, but it is in fact our job to screw ourselves. GMail would be a handy addition to our self-screwing armamentarium if only it had some kind of "please let me screw myself" checkbox.
Regards,
Arlington Copley Hynes

I note that I have been nominated against you in the Mischief of Magpies Blog of the Week award, sir! Best of luck to you!!
I do not understand a word of that, and you were even using traditional spelling. What happened to the clowans?
Tru dat. I've had the same bloody problem trying to mail a reg cleaning tool to a friend (she is a moron & manageds to screw herself & therefore needed me to send her an.exe file). Can I? Can I fuck. Idiots.

Ha - based on the deletions and name-changes and whatnot, something even more nefarious than Dvorak is afoot. I'm standing by the "demented alter ego" hypothesis.
