As a former/fossilized "janitor" meself, I'd just like to point out that
the "onelist" system has a VERY nice feature of a "shared files" area
any list member can upload to/look at, which is found at:
http://www.onelist.com/shareddir/CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO/

which I think is a whole lot better way to share "attachments/binary's".
You could think of it as the group's "DropBox", ifyawill. It allows you
to create directories for particular topics (if the Janitor hasn't
already), as well as upload new additions of "good stuff".

[Trouble is, it looks like it's limited to 5megs in size?]

My motivation for mentioning this isn't cuz I hate attachments or feel
like playing net-snob/cop; these days many of us DO have the e-mail
bandwidth to allow for such things, BUT if we put our "choice stuff"
into the Shared Files area, then we have a archive/repository of good
stuff we can point to in the future as new members come onboard. Just
posting the same to the list means it's gotta be searched for in the
archives, which dudn't seem as nice to me.

Just me dos centavos, amigos.
