> I wonder what would have happened had someone said, "Hey, I'm sure you have some interesting things to say... I'd be far more likely to respond to you if you could write less. Do you think you could try that?"
Some might be willing and able to try, others might not?

So, to create a rule because one person is doing it a lot wouldn't be fair to those, including him, who might do it occassionally.IMO, this is where we're at. I've picked a number, and it needs to be applied equally, but this isn't black and white, so there also need to be exceptions...
Thanks for helping out again,
