<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Robert,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Thanks for your considered comments here.
Most people mean well, but don't realise the amount of trouble caused to those
on dial up accounts when sending large attachments .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Due to the difficulties of people not observing
this vountary code I have had to force rejection of any mail to any list that is
larger than 1 MB. If we struggle with this , it may have to be reduced further
to 500KB or even lower.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Also, replying to the whole list is an
unnecessary waste of bandwidth and really dilutes the quality of posts to the
list. This has caused many people to unsubscribe which is sad. All we can do is
keep reminding people to consider their destination email
address before hitting the send button.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Keep well </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>As a slater of people sending large files to the
list, and who used to be on a dial up connection, can I please
comment.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Sending large files to everyone on the list causes two
problems:</FONT></DIV>
<UL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>those who do not want the file still have to download
it, sometimes at great time cost</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>it really is putting unnecessary traffic through the
Internet (and that should be an important
consideration)</FONT></LI></UL>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>So there are alternatives, as have been suggested
before, such as sending to Kevork or uploading to a web site and providing the
address for those who want to download.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Another issue is those who reply to the whole list when
they only mean to reply to one person.</FONT></DIV>
<UL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>Please realise that if you get a list email from
"Fred" wanting information and you click on the reply button then that reply
goes to the whole list.</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>Gee! Did you really want the whole world to know
that?</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>If you want to reply to one person only then please
look at the email properties and you will find the email address of the
original sender.</FONT></LI></UL>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Happy ICTing</FONT></DIV>
