It may be obvious to you, but it is not obvious to me.  Many of us on 
the Internet subscribe to ten or more lists and have learned to 
manage the postings quite effectively with our email software.  I 
don't believe in restricting bandwidth to any participant in any 
manner, because there is plenty of room for everyone and we all 
possess filters and delete keys.  I can zap fifteen posts or more at 
one keystroke if I want to, I don't grudge the ten seconds that takes 
to anyone.
>From my perspective, having to make an accounting of my resources 
every single time I post to a list renders that process more complex 
and timeconsuming.  It is clear to me that your goal is to limit the 
voices on this list, and I refuse to buy into that concept.  
To me, it is vitally important that persons be encouraged to post 
more than they do, because so many wonderful ideas and thoughts are 
not getting heard here.
