Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 ly speaking, hippies, I truly wonder why simple things should be made more complicated. If my Belgian Tips file was done in Word format, it's certainly not because I am a big Bill Gates fan. I did it simply because I inserted several hyperlinks in my text and I wanted them to be easily clickable to be opened. If the file were in Txt(ASCII) format, one would have to cut and paste each link into their browser in order to open them. And if the file were in PDF format, no cut and paste would be possible at all, forcing people to copy down each url manually (pain in the butt + big chances for mistakes with long urls). Anyway, I can send my file to as it is and just leave it up to him to decide in what format it should be uploaded. However, in order to do that, I need 's email address! The address that appears in the head of the messages posted by him is partially cut. I need his complete address in order to be able to send him a mail with an attachment from my email client. In the meantime, I emailed copy of my Belgian Tips file to the Belgium-bound hippies I've already been corresponding privatly with. If there are other hippies who are interested in my tips (and who do not mind receiving 71 K word file), all they have to do is to email me and ask for it. Have a nice Monday, hippies! Al in Brussels P.S. TOO BAD no BHR Band is scheduled for ...RIGHT NOW!
