No attachements please

Personally, I think it is rude to attach any kind of file unless both parties have agreed to it. I just cast my vote against and if other members start attaching patches frequently then I will probably unsubscribe. Beside the danger of a virus, once a message with an attachment is on my server I have no choice but to receive it no matter how big it is. I can't get to later messges until that one has been downloaded. I can delete it only after receiving. Don't we already have a place where people can upload their patches for others to access? This is a much better way to go since each list member can decide what they do or don't want. Another option would be to form a secondary list for those who wish to receive attached files.
