Hi, As a 1st year PhD student I joined the mailing list at the suggestion of my supervisor and although I have not contributed to any of the discussions I regularly read the questions and replies. Some of the questions are out of my field of interest but seeing different people's points of view is always very useful. I am just worried that most people would instinctively hit 'reply' rather than 'reply to all' when entering a discussion on a question and so would leave the rest of us out of the answer. Does anyone feel the same? Ross Colman

In many occasions it was helpful for discussion to have a small .gif or so. Also, I think data transfer and server capacity has increased compared to, say, 10 y ago, and each of us receives plenty of (unrequested) MB every day. Why should we put a priori limits to what we are actually interested in? So I think the present regulation is fine enough: try to be as short as useful, and if you send more than 50-100 kB you will be silenced by AH. best miguel ********************************** At 12:14 17/03/2008, you wrote: 0.5 KBytes is only 512 characters?
