Hi Seldonseen,
Thanks for your input. I'm not suggesting that anyone here determines what is or is not of value in terms of what others post. What I am proposing is very objective, no subjective value judgements involved. I'm suggesting that it might encourage posters to think more carefully about what they post if _everyones_ posting is limited to a certain number of posts per day.
If one deems something to be serious enough to post, by all means post it. It is not for us to judge. But then people might save their posts for things that they really do deem serious.
I agree with you that what is not valuable to me may certainly be valuable to others. But again, I'm talking about certain posters where there seems to be consistent lack of value, as judged by a group of peers. This seems to be an ongoing issue, and I can't think of a better way to resolve it than imposing a global posting limit. Anything else would end up with hurt feelings and resentment. It seems that the feedback on my idea so far has been negative. If that is the case, then maybe it's a bad idea.
I'd be interested to hear what others have to say, especially Dr. Bob.
Thanks,
Phoenix1
