I agree that storage can be an issue and that long, technical replies should
be edited before being sent. There was never a problem on these lists before
they were moved to Google. I find it hard to believe that Google places
these very strict limits on the e-mail as I am sure Google is automatically
archiving everything that we write on list.

The reality regardless, is still that I have not by any sense of the word
included the proverbial kitchen sink in my replies and it irritates me that
I suddenly get a message that listmom has to review as to whether or not my
reply can slip through the eye of the needle, when what I was simply doing
was trying to find a solution to a technical problem, as quickly, smoothly
and peacefully as possible. With this tight control, I have to wait and see
if my e-mail is at all added to the list. What if listmom is on vacation or
away on business for a couple of days?
