It wasn't I who rejected it, but for accuracy's sake: the list does in
fact have an upper size limit, beyond which posts are automatically held
for moderation. My own policy is -- if the post is clearly pukka as I
imagine yours would have been -- to let it through. Presumably in this
case one of the other moderators was feeling rather more zealous and
decided to bounce it. I'll let him speak for himself if he wishes.


Twas I that did it.  I find it highly aggravating to scroll through 
pages of quoted whatever for a simple comment at the end.  If it's not a 
PEP, or obviously non-quoted anywhere-close-to-on-topic content, I bounce.
