Wrong.. patches should be posted/digested by list recipients. If subscribers can't be bothered to read patches, they should reconsider their initial application for acceptance to this list. I'll happily de-uuencode gunzip and whatever, but I _don't like_ to have to chase it down to see it. Please post patches.. _not_ URL's.
