I think this is a matter of the size of data and not the "bushiness" rows (fabulous term, btw). For example, you could probably get away with bushy rows to a certain degree if the columns themselves were very small. So you should probably approach this problem from a "how many MB do I want to send in a single message" approach instead. When the rows get bushy, you should send less of them. Gary.
