I have just made one change in policy on sbcl-devel and sbcl-help: posts from nonsubscribers are now disabled in hopes of reducing spam. I also noticed an option for another change that I might make: perhaps the size cutoff for postings should be more than 40kB? My impression (as the person who belatedly approves them) is that 57kB posts on sbcl-devel are usually appropriate things like patches. I am inclined to bump the limit for sbcl-devel up to 80kB-100kB or so, and to bump the limit for sbcl-commits up to something like 200kB. However, I'd like to give subscribers a chance to comment on it first: if you like to read sbcl-devel through your slow ham radio link from your sailboat off the coast of Antarctica and don't want it to clog up your connection, now's a good time to let me know. -- -- William Harold Newman <william.newman <at> airmail.net> PGP key fingerprint 85 CE 1C BA 79 8D 51 8C B9 25 FB EE E0 C3 E5 7C People who send spam to Emperor Cartagia... vanish! _They say_ that there's a room where he has their heads, lined up in a row on a desk... _They say_ that late at night, he goes there, and talks to them... _they say_ he asks them, 'Now tell me again, how _do_ you make money fast?' -- Matthew B.
