post to mailist..

MAV::"Ideal length" would ''not'' be in the 30 - 50 KB range. Anything above
20KB of readable text tries the patience of readers and anything above 28KB
has technical limitations for users on slow computers and/or use certain
browsers. --[[User:Maveric149|mav]] 00:32 Mar 7, 2003 (UTC)

SUSAN:The policy of putting new text at the bottom tries the patience of
anyone with a slow computer. [[User:Susan Mason|Susan Mason]]

STEVERTIGO::Brion? on the Wikipedia-l said that 30-50 was the range... I
thought it suspect at first, but Im not sure where the range really is...
this was an issue on 911.wik where Martin and Elo? fought over how whether
the 911 list should be broken up - I suggested why not both? If you cant
deal with... you have options still, and that list can be broken up by
category... this begs the question of course... lists are better dealt with
by software...  Either way, it seems like the warning needs some clarifying
and consensus... i just signed to wiki-en - ill repost this
there... -Stevertigo
