Perhaps, you missed it, Rick, but I made it clear in an earlier post
that if you restore the posting limits, you will need to appoint
another moderator to enforce it, i.e., keep track of overposters and
shut off/restore posting privileges. I will continue to host the post
count script on the crusty old Dell laptop, and I'll handle the usual
subscriptions, spammers, files, etc. But, if you don't appoint another
moderator, I will simply ignore any overposting.
As for who to appoint, IMO, the heavy users of the group should be the
ones to handle enforcement of the posting limits.
Isn't that a bit like appointing the foxes to guard the hen house?
Correct. The "heavy users" seem to be impulsive. They post knee jerk
reactions. Not a sign at all of the calmness that is supposed to be the
result of practicing a meditation technique.
