It wasn't I who rejected it, but for accuracy's sake: the list does in 
fact have an upper size limit, beyond which posts are automatically held 
for moderation. My own policy is -- if the post is clearly pukka as I 
imagine yours would have been -- to let it through. Presumably in this 
case one of the other moderators was feeling rather more zealous and 
decided to bounce it. I'll let him speak for himself if he wishes.
