As far as I can see there should be no problems posting for Terry Michaels
and Rory McDonald, I have asked them for a test posting. Eric Barbour was
signed up with a ".net" address instead of his ".com" address. Some recent
postings of Mike I. were bounced due to certain words in the subject. Also
his mail server often is not reachable.

I will make the bouncing on words like "s*bscribe* etc les rigid. However,
some lists suffer from people sending "h*lp", "uns*bscribe" etc messages
to the list itself. It can be filtered more elegantly though (although
digitally ;-)

At this moment the maximum size of a posting is 40.000 characters. 
Still, please do NOT send gifs or attachments in your messages, 
put them on a web server or whatever, but do not send them to the
list. Many people really dislike having to retrieve big mails.
