Shemp,

It's good to see you back, but during the time you've
been away there has been a new rule instituted here at
Fairfield Life, one that in my opinion was needed, and
which has fixed a lot of what had "gone wrong" with FFL.

Everyone is limited to five posts a day. Five. Counted
from midnight Fairfield Time to midnight the next day.

On your first day back you made 12 posts during that 
period for April 12th. This is your second post of the
day for April 13th. You have three more left, and after
that Rick and the other moderators have the right to
"cut you off" and swith you to moderated status, so
that nothing you post makes it to the list without 
their approval.

It's a Good Thing, really. 

In the time since this rule has been in place, the tone
of Fairfield Life has improved greatly. People are 
taking more time to "think through" what they have to
say, and to *not* say things that really don't need
saying. There are very few barbs and insults hurled
by children who just won't grow up, and when they are, 
those of us who were damned tired of the children only 
have to hit 'Next' a maximum of five times per child.

I *like* the new system, because it makes me value my
words more, and use them more circumspectly. I don't
waste my time responding to people who really don't
deserve that time. And I think a lot of people here
feel the same way. A number of posters who had been
driven away from what Fairfield Life had become have
come back, and are contributing again. I think that's
a Good Thing. I'm spending one of my five posts today
to try to explain this to you, hoping that you really 
missed the new rule and weren't aware of it. 

Welcome back. I think it'll be good to read the things
you have to say, especially when, like everyone else,
you have become comfortable with the fact that you can 
only say them five times a day.
