I disagree entirely.  I find the flow is too small for my tastes and would
like to see much more.  I don't mind all of the big postings either, since 
I would rather down load it from the net than go to a store an pay $5-10 for
PD software.  You can always remove the stuff you don't want from your 
machine, and then the rest of us don't have to suffer.  

(BTW, I'm assuming the complaint is generated by the fact that Chris is 
getting a News feed to a machine that doesn't have a great deal of space.)
