Do NOT post binaries on this list!

Even though Majordomo will refuse large files in the first place, 
don't promote this on any non-binaries mailinglist or newsgroup 
either.

Especially on mailinglists without such a size-limiter, the damage to 
mailboxes around the globe can (and will) be devastating. 

Just imagine you go on holidays, without unsubscribing from a
particular list....one such binary could exceed your mailbox limit,
and all subsequent emails, including private messages sent to you,
are fatally bounced....for weeks. Not fun at all. Horror if you 
expect important messages.
There are not many things that can create such a havoc to so many 
people as sending large files to unprotected mailinglists....
