Allright.Lets all sit down for a little chat.DONT DO THAT AGAIN!!number 1 --You will kill nearly *ANY* discussion list if you post a 6meg file and try to have it redistributed. Most peoples mailboxes havea limit and according to the error that I recieved back we flooded manypeoples mailboxes and sunk a few mail servers with the RIBS Cad drawing.Never, never post large files to a distribution or news list. This isusenet 101 folks. You send a message saying you have it and the ftpsite where to get it or email directly on request. If you limityourself to about 50K you should be alright.This problem shut down our server most of the day while I went throughby hand weeding out the problem messages, not a simple task when youhave to sort through hundreds of cryptic message id's. Then when youthink you get it done you find it has stuck on another onerebroadcasting to the world.Number 2 -- If you want to complain kindly *REMOVE* the offending largefile *before* you reply. If not you become another offender yourselfand your *complaint* gets redistributed behind the problem message.USENET 101.Any Questions?Stevee________________________________________________________________________________

Stevee,Don't let Ernie get off so easy. I think you have solved the problem andErnie's too valuable to allow him to unsubscribe. In the holiday spirit youshould do HIM (smile) a favor and ignore his request.Ted>Stevee; Please unsubscribe me from the list for a while .
