Yeah, that's the spirit! Some person makes a free document that they think will help people, so let's push document formats down their throat.

Sorry, but it sounded really weird to me to ask for politeness in this context. What I would do is suggesting the change of format, or even better do it by myself if that would be bothering me that badly. Just saying...

He also made a pdf version. http://www.pdfhost.net/index.php?Action=Download&File=03...
