JGNAT, could you post a link to this guide in your first post on this thread? Just in case the UN server goes down tonight? I have this feeling they're under a bit of strain...they might just yank the PDF entirely, to save bandwidth...admins have been known to do that before!

UPDATE!!!

I've added a link to the mirrored copy of the PDF letter to that navigation/guide page I made, in case the UN web server falls over (which is looking increasingly likely...good God...I doubt they'd've posted a 600K file if they knew how many people were going to be trying to d/l it...)

Thanks GRITS! I cut & pasted your wise words of guidance as to how to navigate to the UN docs page, and stuck them in that web page I just made. You're brilliant! I'm finally starting to calm down after a frenzy of cut & pasting, Paint Shop Pro'ing, and writing RAW HTML! My fingers are trembling!!!

Valis, it would be interesting to see how many hits we get on that little FTP site of yours from today onwards...hehehe....

OMG, this is the biggest thing for YEARS!

So, in honour of all those hard-working Apostates, I've taken the liberty of constructing a series of images detailing in a visual format exactly how to navigate to that section of the UN's site, as well as taking the PDFs and downsampling them into smaller, more space-efficient JPGs.

Thanks to Valis, for the hosting space!!!

This guide takes the user straight to the page, with a picture for each step!

Hmm, the UN server is getting really, really spotty now. I think they're groaning from the sheer burden we're imposing on them!!! I can't even browse through and capture screenshots...argh...

Valis, maybe we should mirror the PDF on your server? I don't want to do it right now and leave you with an enormous bandwidth bill...

PLEASE MIRROR THIS DOCUMENT!!! I don't know how much bandwidth the UN servers have, but I can bet you they're taking a major hit this morning!!! Here is one such mirror (Valis, please kill this if it soaks up too much bandwidth...):

THIS IS A 600K file! It's HUGE! I've converted it into JPG format, which is one tenth as large:

http://www.sassquatch.com/SYN/UN_NGO_Letter/un_wt_ngo_letter_2004.jpg (about 65K)

More stuff coming soon...I'm busy composing a graphical, step-by-step guide of screenshots detailing how to reach this file on the UN server itself, for the purpose of authenticity...if I was a Dub, I'd think this was a hoax too!!! GREAT WORK EVERYBODY!!!

Hi Simon,

Great story, you should take a bow - what you did in that JC meeting took serious cajones! I really enjoyed the bit where you told the elder that "if it offends you, don't read it"!

Wishing you well for the future, and good luck with the immigration (it can be a pain, but it's well worth it!),
