I appreciate Steven's post, because I too am tearing my hair out, and I've never really complained either to a list-serve. There's an urban aquaculture list which Glen Hemerick was/is part of, and he was placed on moderation, and I haven't seen him on there since. Glen, if you're reading this, maybe you could at least combine your numerous, numerous posts into 1 or 2 per thought, which had a point that was spelled out in an introductory paragraph or something like that. As it is, I can't even figure out what you're trying to say.
I do agree with Diana Liu that rules like "one post a day" are arbitrary, though I appreciate the thought behind it -- I also think that it would be hard to regulate. Kind of a quandary, but I sure would like to see something make this stop!
