hi diana, if i remember right no specific instructions are given upon sign-up. as a matter of courtesy it would be nice if members asked before they sent those large attachments but lots of people are spoiled through highspeed internet and can't imagine anybody still using dialup. so far, things have gone wrong rarely on this list and, hopefully, some members questioning the large attachment sent recently will remind everybody to be considerate. part of the blame needs to be placed on the list owner who in my recollection never gets involved or posts guidelines. this can be a good thing but sometimes it backfires and people will be unprepared for what is the proper way to post to this list. i did not pay all that much attention to the attachment but i'm sure the sender now realizes a link to the conference would have been the better way to go trauti ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diana M" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, April 03, 2009 8:57 PM Subject: Q re list policy on attached or embedded files > I'm on dialup and can't handle 3 mb attachments, much less 3 or 4 of them, > such as were posted re the conference.
