I don't know if there's a list size limit or not, but maybe your submission is sitting in moderation because it's not the norm? As an alternative, list members have previously hosted their images on trustworthy image hosts. I'm out of touch with what might qualify as that these days, though. Similar has been done for large text files, too. Pastebin type hosts fit that need. In fact, Debian had a version of it for its own packages not too long ago. The caveat for either of the above is that there's often a self-destruct mode that is based on either time length or click views. That's understandably about wear and tear on the host's server(s). Best wishes on what you're trying to fix. Cindy :) -- Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with birdseed *
