Thanks Sascha for taking care of the Spam.  While 15K is a generous limit, approxmately equivalent to 8 single spaced pages, I'm curious as to why you decided to lower it.  Wouldn't merely allowing only subscribed members to post take care of the spam problem?  Actually, now that I think about it, some of the longer posts such as Dave's motivations of the theoretical underpinnings of our network, might run up against the 15K cap.  Perhaps we shall all have to take Polonius's advice: "Brevity is the soul of wit."

Mark
