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?

Alan,

why so restrictive? 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

You're right Jon; I have requested 2K (~1 page). We are perhaps too old for 
SMS messaging shorthand :-) Alan.
