I aplogize in advance for this, but it seems it's the only way I can

A. Provide a sound and reasoned argument.

Right now the arguement against attachments is:

"Attachements can contain viruses, and are also a waste of bandwidth.
If you have something you want to share, put it on a web site and send
the URL to the list. Or, offer to email it privately on a by-request
basis.

Also, since some mailers interpret a forward as an attachment, a good
alternative is to copy & paste text from a document into a normal
email post. If the message is rather long, add a statement to that
effect in the Subject: line (Subject: New cyberwear (long)).

Some listmembers access their mail from work, and due to the
possibility of downloading a virus or other nasties, having an
attachment from a post from the list can result them in being fired
from their job. Drastic, I know, but not when you consider the damage
an attachment with a virus can do to a LAN."

B. Please place your replies below/after quoted text per the ShadowRN
Posting Guidelines. Thank you.
