Then the Rat scratched:
Yes, you spammed my personal email account WITHOUT ASKING FIRST with about 5
megs of files. Then after I was very pissed at you, you went and spammed poor
Maxie with the same 5 megs of files.
Here's a bit of basic netiquitte for you. If you want to send someone a
file, ASK THEM FIRST!!!
I would have pointed you to the upload policy at
http://rat.org/upload.html
Anyway, I only kept a few of the sound samples you sent. they are in
/pub/kats/sounds

Maybe you should have followed up with a "hey rat, I uploaded this file".
I saw that in my incoming directory, didn't know what the hell it was, so
I deleted it.

Don't pay too much attention to Rat. You obviously put a lot of work into those files,
and some of us appreciate the effort even if others do not. Rat's a terminal grouch, but
the bite isn't usually fatal - just uncomfortably poisonous.
