Without any mention of what "large" means :(

Personally, I would urge every submitter to edit their logs/files and expurge anything irrelevant. Ideally, they should do enough troubleshooting as to be finally able to only leave one line, the one which the bug/problem is located in. Thus, the dilemma of whether to attach it, or quote it inline, or paste it on pastebin, would become largely irrelevant.

Ideally though, the poster should research and troubleshoot the problem to such depths as to provide a concise, precise and definitive answer to his/her own question -- making a HowTo out of it wouldn't be a bad idea -- sparing other list members the hassle of answering. It's just basic netiquette, after all.

The above is meant in all seriousness.
