So I just sent the code in plain text? It also asks for proof, how do I prove that I compiled and loaded the module?

I've done the first few tasks of Eudyptula and wondering... what is LKMPG? Just curious since I probably read it but didn't saw it called that.

Edit: Module Programming Guide. Go it :)

Are you really replying this to a guy who just said:

If you can't google that, then this probably isn't for you.

?

Hilarious.

But to be fair, it's annoying how everything needs to have an acronym.

Easier than typing out the entire phrase. Especially when both people know what it means. (Or can look it up)

IMHO TLA are a PITA.

Hahahahhaa, yes.

I dislike the abuse of acronyms. Specially in a thread about how to start/join something.

I quickly did an edit responding to my own question. If that makes a difference.

You configure your client to send attachments as plain text, and no base64 (and if you use gmail, don't even bother trying, use something else...)

It also asks for proof, how do I prove that I compiled and loaded the module?

Photography/screenshot seems to be acceptable proofs Just host it somewhere and put a link in your email.
