Sorry - been meaning to inform list members about this....

The server restricts posts to about 10 kb (in Unix measurements - it works
out to about 25-30 kb per message on my PC).

While it has the salutary effect of limiting prolixity, it's more to protect
against 2 things:

1. People re-sending the digest when the post a message (it happens more
often than you think - digest readers, PLEASE don't just hit reply if you
send something to the list!)

2. It's another defense against viruses. Some viruses/worms will spoof a
member's address, but they're almost always larger than 10 k so they almost
always get stopped.

So if you have a really long post - try to edit it down. Or, if you're
providing an extensive public meeting report like Chris, break it into 2
parts. That does use up your 2 posts per day, but there's always tomorrow.

REMINDERS:
1. Think a member has violated the rules? Email the list manager at [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
before continuing it on the list.
2. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait.
