You didn't curse at him, threaten to get his ISP to cut
him off, or speculate on his ancestor's sexual habits.

This is admirable restraint, but I fear he may take your
request as one person's mild preference.

To the list manager:
  Can the mailing list be configured to reject postings
  over say 50K?

This list is copied to hundreds of people world-wide, only a
few of whom have any ability or desire to debug your
problem.  Others are attached through slow dial-up lines or
have ISP's that limit the total size of their incoming mail
to a megabyte or two.  They may be missing important
messages because the inbox is full of your computer
generated sludge.

Don't do that again!

If this is an apology for asking questions when the problem
was just your own mis-configuration, then no apology is
needed.  It happens to everybody at least once, sooner or
later.

If it's an apology for the megabyte emails to a mailing
list, I suppose I must be gracious and accept it, but it
it really should have more blood attached.
