We are all free to chose:
I may give.
I may take.
Jouni has given a lot.
If he keeps everything new and interesting from now to eternity, his balance sheet is still above the water.

That is tragic, because it makes pure gold on Windows.
After I run a long analysis, the experience.bin file gives shashchess 16 and ENORMOUS advantage at traditional time controls.

I saw a utility to do that once, but it did not work on the files I tried because the format changed. On the other hand, the format of the data is extremely simple so it should be really easy to write a tool to merge them. My personal preference would be to simply keep the deepest data and overwrite...

Depth is generally in the 36 to 60 ply range, with the average...

It simply does not work any more.
I usually save the object to google share or OneDrive or some other publicly viewable object store and then post a link.
Sometimes, I post a message with an attachment in the Rybka forum and post a link to it here.
In any case, you are right. Attachments don't work.
