Relax, Alan. I think she means only that the original poster Juan Carlos
most likely wasn't intentionally wasting anyone's time and money. There
was no malice there. But your response was plenty malicious and nasty.
Most people are quite new to this whole Usenet thing (surely you were new
to this only a few years ago) and some people don't know the rules. Rather
than attacking them viciously, it would be much more productive to
politely let them know they did something annoying. Why spread anger?
Life is full of hassles. Save your anger for the big ones.
And yes, he made a *reasonable* mistake. Your response, however, was
quite unreasonable. If you'd like, I'll send you the 50 pence or one
dollar or whatever it was it cost you to download the ghastly picture.
