I keep on getting on getting the above message when I try and post a message. I have logged in successfully...what's happening?

wynnmc,

You post exceeds the 64k limit for post size.

This is newish. It used to be that oversize posts were silently truncated.

Thank you, Neddy -- perhaps I should change my username to "loquacious"...

wynnmc,

wgetpaste can be used to put files or command output onto a pastebin site.
Then you quote the URL in your (much smaller) post. :)

Thanks again, Neddy, I can see I have a lot still to learn
