Ryan,

While I too am interested in this particular use case, I've lost count of
the number of times that I've been affected by arbitrary limits like this
and it's impossible to predict what people all the weird and wonderful
things people will want to use the tools for. If there's a good reason for
such limits (eg limiting the number of users sharing a spreadsheet for
performance or the number of recipients of a mail message for spam) then
fair enough but I'd also be interested in the rationale behind selecting 30
as the limit in this case. One possible use case would be having addresses
for course administrators at a school/university - with only a single
recipient mailing lists are not necessary (and may also be subject to
similar limits) and it's conceivable that one person administers more than
30 courses!

My point in this rant is simply to think long and hard before implementing
arbitrary limits,

Sam
