SLS,
You wrote,[...I feel that unlimited(consecutive) posting deprives others of screen space...].
I have been reading these posts here about this and find:
A.That IMO the issue is the (consecutiveness) of the posts and not the length of the total post if the individual posts were put as one post, for there is no limit in the rule to the {number of posts} as long as when 3 is reached, another post , for any reason I guess, by another poster is posted and then the poster writing the consecutive posts could go on with 3 more posts , etc..
B. Posters are not told that they can not post in the thread where the consecutive posts are.
C. There has been nothing brought to our attention that the amount of words or bytes in a post must be limited, for people here write long posts, which could have the potential to mean that it is not the volume of the post that is the focus of the rule, but the consecutivness of the posts.
When you wrote ,[...deprives others of screen space...], could you clarify what you meant as to anyone being {deprived} screen space by another's post? If you could, then I could respond accordingly.
