I signed up in February. 158MB as of now. It's still on the gmail

of us on the list. I'd be happy to send an invite your way, as I'm
sure most others would, too.

I agree, Gmail is great for this sort of thing. I subscribed in
January and I am currently using 171MB (6%) of my 2656MB limit. Once a

Interesting address you have there Glen :-)
Back when we cared about bandwidth (we still do, don't we?) it was
considered bad form to post pictures to email lists and newsgroups. The
reason is that one picture, times hundreds or thousands of recipients or
newsservers quickly consumed gigabytes of total resources, distributed
across the net.
Gmail is a similar issue. It's a decentralized archive, in a way.
Instead of one central archive existing for this mailing list, folks are
each archiving every post in their own gmail accounts. Fine, gmail is
free. But what an inefficient solution to the archival question.
........just a rant. ;)
