No, *please* don't!
Make it available online somewhere and just post a reference (URL
or something). This will _significantly_ reduce traffic (it's
not free for everyone around here), will ease updates and can be
pointed to as often as you like when questions come up. It will
make your effort more persistant than a passing by email message.
And it won't suffer from broken mailers (or broken user minds?)
doing useless fullquotes all the time. It will safe a lot of
trouble from many of the list's readers. (Sorry for posting this
to the list, but I really thought this would be obvious. And I
feel - or am I afraid? - my PM to you regarding this very subject
didn't make it to you. Hmmm ...)
I don't think posting several hundred KBytes every couple of days
is a good idea in a mailing list. There are other ways more
appropriate for publishing this kind of information. I recognize
and appreciate your effort, but I doubt that posting this stuff
again and again will do you and your job any good.
