++ all around.

A common practice on lists to keep posts smaller is to post large
files like this to a website (pastebin or a binary hosting site as
appropriate), put the link in the email, and also excerpt a few
relevant lines of log to illustrate the point.  That keeps the email
small, keeps the context in the mail thread, preserves the heart of
the conversation in archives if links die, but still provides access
to the larger files for those who wish to access them at least in the
near future.

However, there is no reason that couldn't just be said politely, as I
just illustrated.  There is no need to berate or coddle anybody.
