I agree with these sentiments. It would be helpful if we had some guidelines
on what is an acceptable size. Going back through my mail I've looked at some
of the larger posts and propose that anything over 20Kb is probably too big
to post. If we used that as a guideline with some reasonable leeway +-
5Kb say then that would help people make the 'should I post this' call.
Anything bigger would require a 'if you want it mail me personally' type post
(avoiding 'me too' ing to the list).
