Having become aware of this newsgroup only this Summer, I wasn't aware
that there was a "one-year rule" on repost requests (if there actually
is such a rule.)
Since you decided to respond to my request with what feels to me like a
scolding, I guess that you won't be helping me out, after all (even
though you were the original poster, 8 months ago).
I guess I'll just hope that someone else will decide to help me with
this film...rather than chide me for choosing the wrong provider
(however, uploading the film AND chiding would also be acceptable to me!)
