Confusion comes from this:

> Me too. I use send zip files to my customers every now and then.

That `Me too` is in response to

> GMail is less than useful for sending attachments, assuming they still do stuff like blocking .zip files containing executables. I can't use my GMail account to communicate with customers at all.

from GP.

Well you're wrong. And you even downvoted me. My point still stands over your wrong assumptions.

What ? I am not saying I buy that logic. I am even trying to explain where the confusion comes from and in doing so showing you didn't explicitly write what's attributed to you (sending .exe files in archive files).

It happens a lot in threaded discussions here that a parent's opinions or points get carried over to child posts and then grand-children posts who seems to assume every answers only adds up details to reinforce the opinion instead of nuances.

I downvoted you for being a dick in the way you respond to the comment wrongly assuming you send .exe files. That is my only assumption here.

Oops sorry. I thought I was responding to GP. His response was not very polite, dismissing my comment as a conspiracy theory and assumed (wrongly) I was sending exe files.

And then I was accused of being a dick. Perhaps I should detach before I give people more wrong impression about me.

OT, but how can you tell who downvoted you?

you can't (well, unless they tell you).
