I noticed several block messages from you (I'm one of the moderators),
with names like "root_conflict3.sh" and such. I have no idea why they
got blocked, unless the system actually bases it on the name of the
file, which would seem silly, but is, I suppose, possible.

If you can't attach them, putting them inline is the way to go, I
guess. Seems you did that. Sorry for the trouble.
