But I didn't say I had received no complaints at all, did I?
I get plenty of complaints from (pardon me while I get a teensy
bit harsh myself) sanctimonious netters who remind me of the 64k
limit and the reasons for its existence, but who can't say that
their site fails to receive the articles.
> News articles bigger than 100K are a *major* pain...
Thanks for providing some balance for my extreme stance; I was
assuming that someone would. (Personally, I've heard all the
reasons not to post large articles, especially since I ask for
comments from time to time, but I get enough positive feedback to
balance the complaints.)
Several of Mathew's criticisms of the comp.lang.c FAQ list are
valid; I won't bore the faq-maintainers list with my responses.

I'm writing this in a 30-line MacLayers window (my 4105 terminal
is broken) at 2400 baud, which is how I read all my news and do
all my net interaction, so I'm not unfamiliar with that
environment.
