The filegate didn't distribute your file until you connected here and sent
it here.  You asked me to hatch it for you, remember? Then you asked me to
set up Tick for you, remember that? There was no need to do anything else
because YOU were doing the dropping off.. the way it should be.

Oh Crap, Thom stop being so friggin' dramatic.  It's such a simple thing
you have to do it is almost too funny.  If you aren't going to drop of your
elist file yourself, then  tell me who the hell is going to, and that's the
only in way the file makes it here.  That's what we need. There's no
"anyone can hatch" crap going on the filegate, and there won't
be.. not as long as there are viruses and trojans out there.  If you can't
live with the filegate policy, as I said, just let me know and I'll remove
the elist from filegate.zxx.

Grow up Thom.. nobody is going to babysit your files, your setup or your
distribution. YOU have to take responsiblity for that.

Take care,
