There goes YOUR attitude again. I *SPECIFICALLY* stated in my initial e-mail "or those of you that either have an older revision of my firewall document, or are otherwise keeping track of it, there is a new version available.".

That doesn't work in open communities. If you don't provide a link to the document, such message is useless for the hundreds of active and passive subscribers to this list. It is important to keep to keep that in mind when sending a message to such a large list.

Besides that it often seems better to me to kindly accept critique, than to attack others (who have contributed an immense amount of work for the community) on their attitudes. It only creates anger.
