I don't personally understand the general aversion to RAR files, I go along
with it. I'm far from doing any automated/bulk postings though.
I did pull some headers from a.b.mp3.abooks and at least at one time the posts
had clear headers and the rar files were not password protected. Why would
that aspect change?
You may be a really swell guy, but in today's world I would also be pretty
leary of any sign-up to get passwords.
