When will my file be deleted?
- All files with no downloads for 30 days will be deleted.
Please note that this limit can be lowered to 25 days in extreme cases, but only
in a short period of time.

Max actually downloads his (important files) every so often so they don't age
off. (I was curious and asked him.)

There is also http://savefile.com/ which Max uses. haven't used it myself,
but if I understand it correctly, you can use it as a personal file store.
The others tend to delete the files after 30 days or so, Savefile seems to
keep them (but check the terms).

Bob, I apologize for pestering you on this point. cjoint.com is in
French, so that's beyond me. flypicture.com looks like the ticket, and
I was able to upload my Excel file to the site. What I don't
understand is how my file is retrieved from the site. Could you please
take the time to explain that part. Many thanks, James

Charles, Another interesting strategy. My main problem is if I'm
trying to help someone and they need a userform solution, it's almost
impossible to explain how to layout and hook up a user form in the
newsgroup. Wouldn't it be great if Google had a way to pass Excel
files anonymously? Then I could just download the file to Google and
tell the person I'm trying to help the name of the file and they could
go to the Google resource and download it. Guess that is asking for
the moon and stars. Google does seem to be trying to address the
problem. Hopefully they'll keep working on it. Regards, James

James, I post an old yahoo address when I need to see a file. I have
notice a
lot more spam being sent to the bulk folder since then... Oh well, I
guess
that's what spam filters are for.

Bob,
Like me you have a gmail account which means Google has a record
of
all your
exchanges, with which analyse and target you with [sic] relevant
advertising.

Zone,
From time to time I post my email address in thinly disguised
form.
AFAIK to
date no trawler has scooped it up.

Regards,
Peter T

But Google will have it, and a record of who you emailed, what
you
said.
No
thanks!

I've been looking into the Google Beta version for Groups. It
still
has a few warts, but Reply to Author seems to be a very nice
feature,
since it allows a poster to send me his/her e-mail address for
passing
files without either of us posting our address in the
newsgroup.
Satisfies a real need, it seems to me. They will be able to
see
my
e-mail address on their sent mail, but at least we don't have
to
post
our addresses in the ng to pass files. I can always just
delete
their
e-mail if necessary. I would prefer to explictly allow the
poster
to
e-mail me, but ng security is weak anyway, so this is an
improvement.
Any comments? James
