The opinions stated in the following message may not reflect the opinions of
the entire listserv.

    No, I feel that files that reach a certain size should be considered
a no-no.  ZIPPED Euphoria source code will rarely exceed this size barrier.
My personal opinion: Is that most any file that exceeds roughly 64K should
not be posted on the listserv.  Let me emphasize my use of the word "most".
This means that there may be causes in which files exceeding 64K would be
acceptable.  Even in those cases I wouldn't want ANY files that exceed 128K
posted directly to the listserv.  It isn't that much of a burden on my
system
BUT,  I still remember the days of my 420Mb HardDrive and running Windows
3.1
with only 4Mb of Memory and a 14.4 modem.  I didn't have Internet access
back
then.  Heck, I didn't have Juno email either !!!  But if I had.  I wouldn't
have attachments that I might not use wasting my time online with a 14.4
connection.   Yeah, yeah, yeah,  I'm speaking of the good ole days.  Let me
wake some of you youngsters up.  They may be good ole days for me.  But,
they
still exist as current lifestyle for many folks.

People ask me. "Are you pessimist or optimist?"
My answer: "I'm a realist." I naturally see the bad side and immediately try
to find the good side.  Go figure.  I guess it is just the Libra in me. :)
