O.K....I'm tired of getting flamed!

To clear things up.....

1. someone posted an animation without ANY escaape characters
2. I was nice and put the escape characters back in, and then reposted it
   BUT...I didn't think to UUEncode it.
3. I DID (I emphasize DID) uuencode it, reposted it AGAIN, and I still got 
   a complaint that it couldn't be seen.
4. To check it, I extracted my UUEncoded version from the group, decoded it,
   ran it, and it worked fine.  

At This (and only this point) I gave up because I figuered I must have been
dealling with an IDIOT that didn't know how to UUDEcod because I knew it was
right and even covered my ass be checking it.  So please, just shut the F*CK up
and do things for yourself if your only gonna' complain about them.

Sincerely....
