Re: attachments

dear colleagues
There's no need to send huge attachments; they clog up our inboxes and the internet. It's much more efficient and quite easy to post files of interest on a web site for people who may be interested to download. 

best wishes for 2009 to all

Hello,
My intention was to take the chance to cheerfully remind of the list policy. Evidently I misperceived my own cheerfulness, and I started a thread.
As already explained to Chas offlist, I have been archiving the list since 2000 (call it collector compulsion, a personal archive allows for more flexible searches than the available web services). Every time I update my main machine I move all my mail, including the list archive. Regular large attachments will force me to abandon this habit, since I will be less happy to move around gigs of mail.
Some stats fun: the "incriminated" message (11M) is around 2000 times the median size of the mails sent to the list since 2000 (5K) and around 2 years of messages.
I would be more than happy if the list server allowed subscribers to decide whether to receive attachments above a specified size. 

All the best,

    Bruno

Dear All,

Personally I would be in favor of allowing attachments and leave it up
to the members of the AUDITORY LIST to decide whether something is of
general interest and thus could be send as an  attachment to the
reflector.
I found the paper I got from Chaslav over the reflector very intersting
and this paper certainly falls in the category "high quality and of
general interest". And indeed with all these high speed connections and
large computer storage this should be no problem. Why not allow it and
see if we can self regulate?

Pierre, I will send you the article in a separate email since I was so
publicly reminded that this list should not be used for attachments. If anybody else needs this or other SII (AI) articles let me know. Also, I will try to put some of those on www.sii.to in the next few 
days. At this day and age with virtually unlimited storage, fast DSL,
and a the delete function on the keyboard it is hard to justify that
journal articles should not be enclosed.

Dawna,
Please do the electronic version, so that others on the list could also benefit from Chas's 1991 wisdom (I am sure he will not mind).

Oddly enough, I was cleaning some files recently and actually have a hard copy of that article. I could send you one via regular mail or try to get time to scan it over the next couple of days.
