I hate email attachments. Why must people send me a file attachments large enough to feed a small third-world country? Then they complain when I don't get the file.

If the file was so damn important, the best thing to do is to make it easier for me to find by adding something valuable to the file. If you're into helping the needy, put your social security number and credit card numbers in the file. If you are into art, put those naked pictures of your significant other in it. Then move the file to some random directory on your hard drive so you know you'll never see it again, and assume it must have been deleted. Or just delete it. It doesn't really matter. By the time you pasted those numbers or photos into the file, I'll be able to download it from BitTorrent, EDonkey, Napster, Pornster, Funkster, Sharezilla, FileMonger, BitBitch, TonsOPorn, ClamBake, PersianKitty,and every other dark part of the Internet that I never go to.
