You can email it to me at andy@theshirtboard.com, and I will then probably do the same thing that I would suggest to you when posting otherwise big art files:
make it smaller!  :D

Seriously though, and for all others to follow you as well, there's a damn good chance that a nice design file is way too large to post as it is inyour high rez full sized version, but is can usually pretty easily converted to a forum friendly file by making a 72 dpi version, and maybe also knocking down its physical size a bit if needed.

With the tools that most of us have, it's a piece of cake.

Here's a suggestion. 

When things like this come up, open a free account at www.yousendit.com (http://www.yousendit.com).  Upload your graphic file there and 'send' to yourself.  This creates a link sent to your email (actually it's also on the yousendit page).  Then post that 'download' link.

A yousendit or similar link is an option but from an "exposure" point of view, granted that he is not selling anything, but nonetheless, I believe that many more members may participate if it was displayed, right there in the thread, rather than available through a few clicks.

Oh I agree and I did consider the risk, but was just offered in lieu of sizing down.

Personally, I like zipping down and encrypting so you can just have the ones you want to see it open it.

Thanks Dan for the seperations. This came out better than I imagined. And the customer loved it.

  Damn, I just did one VERY similar last week with an index sep and wound up
with 3 colors. I guess I should have gone to Dan. Would have been nice to do
it with 2 colors! I quoted it at 2 and had to eat the third color. I'm fairly good but
evidently nowhere near Dan. Looks great.

Yeah, tell me about it. Just two weeks ago on Sunday I hear on the news about a shooting of a young man over the weekend in Oakland (15 miles away), and on Monday I'm talking to a guy about the memorial shirt.

I hate doing them also, but if we don't do it some one else will....we have printed about seven kids from the local high school over the last few years from suicide or wrecks.
