Re: Suggestion: On how to reduce file size.

[Ray Wood]

To whom ever you are,


I'm not sure if you did this intenionally or not

but I really don't appreciate being spammed.

The link you put in your e-mail leads to an ad

banner site. Not only is it ugly and disgusting to look

at, it is also a major waste of my time. In future,

please enter the correct site or don't bother 

at all.
