Hi Folks,

Though I'm *not* a moderator of the Muffin echo, I was going to ask those
of you that post _long_ messages (in excess of 15k) to please split them
into Fido sized chunks.  Squish in particular, will mark the .pkt the
messages appear in as ".LNG" and set it aside, not tossing your
message.  Then an external message splitter like PktSort has to be run on
the .pkt to make it toss properly.  Lots of folks *don't* have PktSort nor
know how to use it, so the messages don't get seen on that system (or its
downlinks).

Thanks in advance!!

Best regards,
Marc
