What is needed is a qualitative rating system where people could vote on the overall quality, relevance, uniqueness etc. of each other's messages. Each list member's volume limit could then be adjusted to reflect the previous month's quality standing. Three per day for the top ten, two for the next twenty and one for everybody else. At the end of the year, a gold star for the highest rating. >Top 20 highest posters per day (approx. figures) were: > >Average Total Poster >-------- -- ---------------------------------------------- >2.709680 84 Louis Proyect <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >2.032260 63 Doug Henwood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >2.000000 62 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Tom Walker) >1.709680 53 Jim Devine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >1.612900 50 Michael Perelman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >1.064520 33 valis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >1.032260 32 "Rosser Jr, John Barkley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >0.903226 28 "Henry C.K.
