Mike Mclay, the doc sig coordinator, notified me this morning of some
bounce notifications he's been getting for the sig.  Evidently the
messages robin was forwarding were exceeding the _hard_ 40K limit that
majordomo imposes. 

I suggest in the future either forwarding large submissions directly to
the sig manager, for them to put in place using the sigs anonymous-ftp
upload mechanism (see <http://www.python.org/sigs/coordinator.html>), or
upload them to the ftp.python.org incoming directory, and i'll put them in
the sig dir when i have a moment, and leave the coordinator to link them
in.

In any case, it's not entirely appropriate to forward a software
distribution to all the members on the list, particularly when there's an
alternative - i realize this alternative is only just emerging, but it'd
be good to work with it, and iron it out if necessary, so we can depend
upon it...
