There was a 30 post per person monthly soft limit on foundation-l. My apologies; I was unaware of this soft limit. Happy to abide by it :) and I hope others will too! And, so, this should be my last post for this month. FWIW I entirely agree that less vocal posters may be put off by large

I think it's relative (like everything, anyway) When we were discussing about image filter I remember over one hundred-mails. It was a good discussion. It would be hilarious if someone speak ''Hey everybody, we exceed the thirty messages soft limit, let's end this discussion right now.'' :P
