Hi:

1. Please consider that distributing the messages to all of the list 
members takes time - it doesn't arrive in your mailbox exactly when you 
mail them. Wait a while to see if they arrive.

2. Please consider that if there is any problem in the distribution of 
messages on the list, it may take several hours before I read my mail in 
the next time, notice the problem, and fix it.

3. Your messages bounced because they were bigger than the maximum 
allowed message size. It is prefared that messages bigger than a centain 
threshold be available on ftp or through other mediums for those who want 
them, because the downloading time is too great for those who don't want 
them. Please don't send long binaries on the list, as a general rule.

4. I'll use this occasion to say this: the list has moved back from 
members-only posting to unlimited posting. Members-only posting caused 
many problems and headaches, both to many users who use several email 
addresses and to me. Not a single spam message was prevented because of 
it in the two weeks or so it was active.

Regards,
Ariel
