Gary, I am against more than one post per day. Multiple posts in a dialogue push out others who are trying to get a word in edgewise. Remember, not everyone is free to read sequential posts. Not everyone can read posts each day. In fact, one can read a post and immediately start formulating a thoughtful response, when already it has become outdated because other posts have moved the topic on. How can the Peirce-list attract new people to a Peircean conversation? Not like this. How can we remain a learning community?
