Alla, you *really* didn't need to post that.

You posted a followup quoting Richard's entire message, which included
multiple levels of quotations from previous messages, most of them
irrelevant.  And the only thing you added was a statement that you're
*going to* provide a hex dump.

You should have simply posted a followup containingt the hex dump --
preferably with most of the previous irrelevant context snipped (but of
course keeping attribution lines for any quoted text you keep).

My newsreader, like many others, does not collapse quoted text, at least
not by default.  I had to scroll through the entire article to find the
one line you added in your response.  When you fail to snip irrelevant
context, you're forcing most of the rest of us to scroll past it.
