Just as a followup, I should point out that yesterday, in less than 24 hours, you made 33 posts. Those posts were mainly you either rehashing old arguments that you've been argu- ing about for 14 years on this forum or another, and a few token posts dissing people you don't like and trying to "lessen" them in the eyes of other posters. If the posting limits had *not* been put into effect, and you continued to post at the same rate, you'd easily rack up over 200 posts for the week. How many of the people who "appreciate" your posts here do you think still would if you were allowed to post as much as you clearly want to? I think that what many of us "appreciate" most about your posts is that now, under the new posting limits, you've often compulsively used them all up by Monday morning, and we can spend the rest of the week free of them. The same would be true of Lawson if he were still around, but he'd "foul out on posts" by mid-day Saturday. And Shemp will probably come off his two-week hiatus full of bile and go over the limit within a few days, and then we'll be free of his posts for at least a month. I'm a big *fan* of the posting limits. :-)
