Hi James, et al. I understand the motive for the new limits, and I (nearly!) always snip any and all unneccesary lines out of quoted messages, but I believe that tempting people (such as yourself) to try to address multiple subjects in a single message is a mistake! Whether we read the digest or receive individual messages we should always attempt to write a subject line that accurately reflects the content of the message, and to write a simple and concise message on that subject and no more. Maybe a more sensible restriction would be that a person may only respond to or post a maximum of three topics in one day? ... but, I'm not suggesting that this should be made the rule! Another alternative may be a ranking system building on the principle that has already been implemented where new subscribers are moderated for their initial messages. Maybe there can be a message cumulative words (or characters) limit (or number of messages limit if volume measurement is not possible) beyond which the poster becomes moderated for the day? There could then be a ranking for known quality posters (such as some of us who have been here for years) which increases the number before moderation begins. A number of breaches requiring the moderator to kill the message could be cause for the member to be demoted to 'ordinary subscriber', or further to 'moderated', like a newbie.
