You made few crucial mistakes:
1. You did not CC linux-wireless.
2. You submitted the message as HTML and our lists automatically filter
those.
3. You attached a powerpoint file and I would hope that our lists
automatically filter those as well. At least I'm not going to open
any random powerpoint/word files I receive via email.
