    1. Attachments - DON'T !
    2. John Snelson
    3. Folks, I get about 40 messages a day from various ISP servers who bounce your mail because there is an attachment that exceeds the limit. The limits are set by your own ISP, not by me. Here is a typical message ******************************************* One or more of the recipients of this message did not receive it because they would have exceeded their mailbox size limit of 250kb. It may be possible for you to successfully send your message again at a later time; however, if it is large, it is recommended that you first contact the recipients to confirm that the space will be available for your message when you send it. Message .. folks .. don't send attachments to the Conference please, it is really quite a rude thing to do, as it can jam up the mailboxes of thousand of folks who don't give a damn about your attachment, but who have no means of avoiding having to pay for and wait for the download. This is a real pain .. I know, because I get ALL of them ... If you would like to send an attachment, send it to the folks who may be interested, please don't spam it to the whole Conference. If you would like to discuss this further or if you have any questions, send me a message .. please don't broadcast it to the whole Conference. Thanks, john snelson listowner ...
