I have to say that, while long and un-managed quotations from messages are
hard to follow, I see nothing wrong with larger quantities of original
content, such as Bob's interesting research on batteries, something I will
have to bear in mind if ever my battery goes, seemingly a more severe
issue than the harmless fun I had with my old LC.

As for actually limiting messages to 13k, well, I have never typed enough
to have had a problem with that, and I can't comment on whether the limit
is too low. But, other than the messages Bob tried to send, I have seen no
evidence so far of anyone else having a problem with that. As for
pictures, it would be best not to attach them, let the people who actually
want them to get them from a web URL, or receive them personally.

What annoys me more is that ko,the moderator, feels the need to
continually remind us of the netiquette for the StarMax list every few
days at least, which is becoming quite tiresome now. And the latest set of
messages from ko received today all seemed pointless. Not only that, but
the titles of the messages, while correct in relation to the messages they
were replies to, were all the same, making it impossible to tell from my
Inbox what any of them were really about. This seems to stem from other
users forgetting to change the title of earlier messages.

Finally, as regards to HTML-based messages, I have no problem with basic
coloured text (using Outlook Express 5, yeah I know, Microshaft) but I get
particularly annoyed with messages that involve complete page layout,
because that forces OE to load in all the required code to handle that,
which takes ages and holds up the program until it's done.

PS Shall we all calm down now and find something more positive to discuss?
