Default Large size posts in Newsgroups yield lesser responses ?

Hi,

A doubt to all the people who regularly answer queries of others.

Do any of you Excel gurus filter (Im assuming most use outlook or some
newsreader) questions/posts based on the size of the question.

Like if the Post size is above this much size then "Dont download the post"
etc.

Im sorry Im not asking this to sound rude etc but just wanted to know
because it has happened 2 or 3 times in the past that if my post is big then
I dont get any responses.

Please note the post is big not due to attachments (I have read Chip's
guidelines of not attaching any file) but rather explaining everything in
the post itself. Now if we explain everything in the post itself then
sometimes there are long codes ( my codes are quite unwieldy even by a
beginner's standards..) and when I pastes these long codes in the post the
post becomes huge.

Now, I dont know what to do. Should I skip pasting those codes (By skipping
I dont want to give the impression that I havent tried)

Just to check my "theory" in outlook I sorted posts sizewise in programming
group. I went to Public.excel also and there I could see posts being
responded to even if the size was big ( most of them had attachments
also..). Seeing this I couldnt come to any conclusion regarding whether
posts which are big in size ( whether having attachments or not) would have
on an average lesser responses compared to others.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Hari
