As far as I remember, the reason referenced was people on dialup
connections or with limited bandwith.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Moderator reminder: Trimming messages
I don't mind the idea, except I'm curious as to why there's a
message
length restriction. If someone doesn't want to read the entire
message, they can either delete it then and there or move to the
next
name in the thread, depending on their client and mail reading
preferences. What's more, most e-mail services give what is now
an
incredible amount of e-mail storage. Trimming messages is no
longer a
technical necessity.
On those grounds, I submit that the list itself offer complaints
over
messages which are too long.
When I write a long message, I try to give people a heads up at
the
beginning, and I also expect that plenty won't read it. I view
long
messages as essential, however, as there are many instances where
I
could break up a message into multiple parts, but what's the
point if
I can write a single, flowing missive to the group.
I hope this is well-received.

Hey folks,
I have just tended to all the moderated messages and have had to
reject a
rather large number of them due to excessive size. Please could
I gently
remind you all to trim your messages before sending them, unless
it is under
special circumstances and your message is consulted with and
approved by the
moderators.
Cheers.
Kind regards,
Damien C. Pendleton,
Co-Moderator of the Audyssey list.
