   One thing I never concidered when I commented deleting *.lng files is   
   nodes that need to pass messages on. In a case like that then it is   
   more of a problem.

   I took the new dbridge out for a test drive a month or two back and   
   it crashed completely on those messages...   
      
   I think 229/2000 runs hpt, maybe we should ask him if he wouldn't   
   mind splitting messages at 128 or 256kb or some safe value, just so   
   those who run tossers that can't handle the large messages can still   
   pass those messages on for those interested in reading them. I read   
   the area myself periodiclly just to see what areas are getting   
   traffic.
