I think it's nothing more than a server software default.

  Ken,

  I wonder what the logic is now of limiting posts to the list to 250 =
lines.=20
  If there were no limitation, then I could post the article on =
soldering=20
  coaxial cable directly to the list.  But, as it is, it exceeds the =
limit by=20
  100 lines.

  The message from the listserv indicates that these limits are up to=20
  individual listowners and not a functional limitation of the server.

  Take my advice, I don't use it anyway
