Subject: Re: [AN1x-list] New poll for AN1x-list

From: mango <mango@...>
Date: 2000-04-12

First off: No one said there would be imminent consequences after the
vote...
Secondly: your opinion is certainly regarded, and i'm definately not going
to impose
that the patches should be attached, it was, again, just a thought..- wanted
to know
how people actually feel about it besides myself. And if everybody agreed to
it, then it would be fine, but if some don't we'll just keep it the most
friendly way. (which is: the one that suits everybody, no matter if you have
to do a little more effort.)
Thirdly: at some time the dir will be full. (what's the space? 2megs or 20
megs?),
but that's irrelevant now anyway, i agree... But i just ∗thought∗ it would
be handy
to attach your patch along with the email instead of redirecting to an
URL... or well... maybe that's just as good. =)
