I didn't care one way or the other about posting rules except that there was no way I was going to take on the responsibility of manually counting up all the posts. When you came up with your post count script, I was then willing to take on the job of enforcing the rule. However, I would really prefer that the rule be enforced as simply as possible, without my having to make individual value judgments on a case by case basis. One time, I stepped in and prevented Kirk from overposting, and Edg (IIRC) blew a circuit breaker because of it. I don't want to deal with that kind of drama, so AFAIC, if there's going to be a post count rule, and I'm the one who's going to enforce it, then enforcement needs to be as simple and formulaic as possible. > emptybill wrote: > > Alex you are so orthostatic - you would make a good commissar. > > > > This rule was set up to curb intentional over-posters not to punish > > inadvertence.
