I'm a little loathe to bring it up there, as I seem to remember some mention of them having a list as long as King Kong's arm to work on, but it can't hurt to ask. > If contributors are using Sun/3s with 2400 baud > modems, 30 pages of text > might be a problem :) but I would hope folks would > use common sense. It isn't just that. I often have difficulty reading longer items in the forums, and need to copy/paste to a word processor and print them off. Scrolling through 30 screens can be painful. Also, don't forget that this is an international forum; European users pay for every packet the slurp down. There's no warning in the forum software that tells them this one post is 5Meg. > Sending enormous PDFs to docs-discuss would not be > very nice to do.

Unfortunately, I would also argue against the believe that "common sense" is very common at all. :-( > - Eric Rainer This message posted from opensolaris.org
