I whipped up a script to mine the newsgroup. (Thank you, News::NNTPClient!) In hindsight, I should have cached the sizes on the articles scanned so it doesn't have to spend the time to do that again if I want to go further back in history. $ perl check-testers.pl 10000 Found 487283 articles Based on the last 9753 reports: 25-th percentile: 6 K 50-th percentile: 6 K 75-th percentile: 7 K 90-th percentile: 10 K 99-th percentile: 53 K The sizes are the size of the message, not just the test output. It looks like if I set the test output cutoff at 50K, we'll truncate < 1% of messages. That seems quite reasonable. David
