hell. i've got software that i wrote that can create messages as large as my
available drive space up to 2gig, in size... it has been actively tested by
posting the largest nodelist in fidonet's history to one message in one test
echo...

yup but who really wants to be tossing 100's of small messages when tossing one
will do, go faster, and take up less space (due to no duplication of the
