I've been using SIZELIM=150 on a couple of academic (= longwinded people) lists with only a couple of complaints or requests to override the limit. > We've been using 180 successfully for a while now, on an active > discussion list. We also aggressively send out quoting reminders > (friendly reminders, we're just vigilant about sending them!). > > My only wish is that list owners could override the limit without > changing it. If people want to post longer things (conference announcements, etc.) I offer to put them on a Web site and invite them to post the URL. -- Russ __|~_ Russell A.
