[Wlug] 2 goddamn megabyte message

Sat, 2 Nov 2002 02:26:16 -0500 (EST)

It's your own fault for having a crappy dialup and not getting message 
headers before downloading the whole thing :)   so apparently ANYONE 
could send you a large file and cause the same problem.

When i moved into this apartment one thing I made sure before i signed 
the lease was that i could get broadband with a static IP for my box :)

Sorry I just can't relate to only having a dialup..   I can't imagine 
the pain you must have :)

I've been on this lonely road so long,
Does anybody know where it goes,
I remember last time the signs pointed home,
A month ago.
