Just to add my $0.02, I definitely agree that the limit is a great idea 
to keep out the "reply to digests" or replies that don't bother to trip 
irrelevant quoted sections.  It's a good tool to educate people on 
proper list etiquette .    But I can't comment on what the limit should 
be , 15k sounds fine.
