I've noticed alot of people saying "Sorry this is so long" in their posts when in actuality it's only one or two screen fulls. Maybe it seemed longer when you wrote it?? Anyway, my point of this is that you all need not worry about the length. Your writting about ferrets, if we didn't want to read about ferrets we wouldn't subscribe to a listserv that sends out 1000 lines about ferrets daily! :) And theres no need to apologize for writting long posts about fuzzies, don't they deserve it?? Just thought I'd through that out to you all. (*trying to think of something ferrety to write*) Nope, nothing for now. Give your fuzzies a hug tonight and little kisses too! [Moderator's note: Ehh... I think I need to step in here :-) Certainly, if people have pertinent things to say and need room to say them, by all means do so, though note that very long posts will automatically be returned to you (i.e. rejected) without me ever seeing them. (If it's important that something long gets posted, email details directly to ferret-request.) That said, I don't want to encourage long posts either. It takes a lot of (my) work to keep each issue down to around 1000 lines, but even putting my time aside (for the sake of argument), many people would prefer not to make their service provider richer than necessary by being forced to download excessively large issues. And I'm certain many subscribers can't really find the time to read everything as it is. BIG] Mike H. Belle & Spyke the styrofoam eaters... [Posted in FML issue 1370]
