Alan,

*** Quoting Alan Ianson from a message to Rich Wonneberger ***

AI> either?

If someone's posting 400K messages, they ought to be slapped.

Any sysop would realize that not everyone's systems can handle messages
that ¨big and put them into 64K chunks (possibly still, 16K).  But to be
honest, who ¨really needs that kind of statistical data broadcast?  I can
see a major hub ¨generating statistics locally, but really now, 400K? :)

I do believe that you aren't going to see any tosser go over 64K, period. 
I ¨read the docs and FE does cut the packets as does Squish.  I can't speak
for ¨any other tosser, but those two do truncate the message.

Later,
Sean
