Note: When it is on-topic and the data could be necessary for answering the 
questions, I'll approve a post bigger than 128KB like the original inquiry was.

Please, though: when you are responding to such large posts, trim your 
responses so I (or other list admins) do not need to manually go tell the 
mailing-list to allow the posts through to the list (which I generally will not 
do unless the overage is truly pertinent to the response for several reasons).

On this particular topic as seen in the list-management message I forwarded, 
there have been several responses that hit the limits to which I responded 
privately to the posters requesting they re-post with trimmed replies.  Those 
interested in the responses might need to post other coaxing messages to help 
their memory regarding performing that re-posting.


Thank you,
Philip Kizer
