When I first joined the "internet community", as a newbie I made a few netiquette transgressions which were (mostly) kindly pointed out to me, although some less forgiving (jaded?) regulars blasted me.

I guess if the intent was innocent, with a complete lack of awareness of what 2M attachments do to an in-box, I would try to educate the originator as a first course of action. It still occasionally happens where I work, in spite of our IT department’s valiant education programme!

Some users of e-mail, newsgroups and the WWW just do not know how these systems work “under the hood” and so can make some dire mistakes. I have purchased goods from AEC and in my dealings with them, not once did I detect an attitude that would indicate a desire to cause this immense frustration that the recipients must have felt, in order to selfishly advertise their offerings.

At face value, it looks like a naïve ignorance of e-systems?

Just my 2c worth.

Cheers

Dennis
