No problem -- its usually better to overdo problem reporting, rather
than to leave maintainers in the dark about problems.

I assume that you refer to the mail that you sent a few hours before;
it was not distributed because its size exceeded the listserver limits,
see http://www.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/~fuellen/Tmp/ThatBigPost.txt
(You should have received an automatic notification about this -- if this
mechanism didn't work, please tell, and I'll investigate that problem.)

In general, I'd like to keep some upper limit on the size of posts
because not only may the listserv become overloaded (vsns-bcd-perl
has hundreds of subscribers), but some recipients may start complaining,
too, if mails are too large.

best wishes,
