I completely understand, and please remember that *I* am not the person
asking for posting limits again. Hilariously, it's the person who *they
were invented for* asking for them.
That said, I *can* think of a more "low maintenance" version of the
Posting Limit, should anyone want to take over your function. This
version only requires the moderator to look at one Post Count post per
week, the one that comes out after Friday night and that contains the
weekly totals.
If anyone on it has gone over 75 posts, the moderator just blocks their
address and bans them from posting, FOREVER.
I already know who the first three people to go would be, and Richard
wouldn't be one of them. :-)

too busy to even read the posts here except once in a blue moon. Plus
which, apparently Neo has made managing a group nearly impossible. As
long as the group pretty much runs itself, that doesn't matter, but if
it involves removing and then reinstating posting privileges on a fairly
regular basis, it's likely to be a huge hassle.

not persistent in his need to drive this forum into the basement. FFL
will end some day but it would be nice if it wasn't because of Ricky.
He's just not worth it.
