Bottom line is that if the limit is set at a fixed five posts per day, EVERYONE will have to stop and *think* before they press Send. They'll have to say to themselves, "Self, do I *really* want to waste one of my five posts a day on this crap?" If one allows all sorts of "exceptions" to the rule, the answer they come up with is all too often going to be, "Why YES, I *do* want to make this petty post, because it doesn't "count" against my limit." If the policy allows NO exceptions, the answer is more likely to be, "NO, I don't want to waste one of my five posts on this issue. I will save my energies (and my posts) for something more substantive." And isn't that exactly what the new policy is supposed to be all about? Good points. Let's compromise and say that today only, a few clarification posts will not be counted against one's total, but after today, they will.
