582 lines?  To a list of listowners?!  And he's not even a subscriber
(unless he's one of the five concealed members)!
 
Not to mention possible copyright problems in sending out whole articles
like that.
 
Definitely, I would like to register myself as a fellow curmudgeon with Ms
Korenman.  A listowner's list, one would think, shouldn't have to set up
protections like file size limitations or being closed, but perhaps it
arises as a possibility ...
