[WEB4LIB] Re: trivial question about size of largest web page

[Gillian Wiseman]

I appreciate all the fascinating replies to this question. I suspected that
the answer was nebulous, but I hadn't realized just HOW impossible to
answer. The patron will enjoy the answers a great deal, and you have all
expanded my understanding as well.

Thanks again!

Gillian
