Sometimes when I post Follow-ups to articles under Bnews I get this message:

Send, abort, edit, or list? s
inews: Article rejected: eric included more text that new text
Article appended to /usr/home/eric/dead.article
A copy may be temporarilt found in /usr/home/eric/.article

What I believe this means (from what it says) is that I must delete part of
a message to make room for a follow-up post to it. In other words, the 
follow-post can not be longer than the original. If this is correct, why? And
what can I do to change it?
