Let me repeat myself: "Sorry, I won't do it again."  This was based on some
amount of ignorance on my part, as I've sent and received large files a good
number of times with no problem on either end, and assumed (there's that
word) that the same would be the case here.

Yes, and there are plenty marked "OFF:" which pertain to Hawkwind or are
otherwise interesting.  And it has absolutely nothing to do with "learning",
as I tend to learn pretty well.  For example, I learned that a fast internet
connection is good, and that I have my choice of ISPs.

I could only wish that the network servers were listening, because this
isn't 1982 anymore, and 551k isn't all that big; it SHOULDN'T lock anything
up.

  Yours was 551k, and for what?  So we could hear Brock

What he said was "...there's going to be a second", as in a second
Hawkwind-attended American Spacerock festival.  I was at Strange Daze 97,
and as seeing Hawkwind is a rare and special treat, one that I appreciate
(to say the least) to the fullest, and to hear Dave's enthusiasm for that
Festival and a promise for another one, well, to me that's a good thing, one
that I wanted to share.  And that's why I sent it, not to piss anyone off or
cause any problems.  End of story.  (any questions, see my first line of
this post)
