        Lewis' needlessly elephantine posting makes me wonder whether
LSTOWN-L would benefit from imposing a limit on the size of postings.
Say, SIZELIM= 250?
 
        Or perhaps the list should simply restrict posting to
subscribers?  Since Lewis couldn't be bothered either to edit out the
hundreds of lines of egomaniacal filler or to check to see whether
LSTOWN-L is moderated, perhaps he also wouldn't have made the effort
to subscribe.
 
        Just my curmudgeonly thoughts for the day :-).
