If downloading such a small document took 12 minutes AND you are being
charged online time by the minute you ought to change your Internet
Provider immediately!
My all-inclusive home service (no connection charges and up to 25Mb of
web space included if you want it) costs me UK pounds 8.00 (about US $13)
per month, and took about 12 seconds - not minutes! - to download Roger's
info. on the post-ICOM '98 tour of NZ.

To
Roger Smith
Past Chair of ICOM New Zealand:
I do not think that sending such a voluminous text to a complete list is
evidence of good manners and consideration.
As an example, it clogged up my mailbox three times and took 12 minutes of
online time (which I have to pay for privately).
