As for me I might not even post 5 times a week let alone 5 times a day or more. This group just isn't that interesting. :)
My point is that I am on a lot of groups and this is the only one that needs some posting limit rule. Many of the other groups I'm on aren't even spiritual in nature. In a climate of a country whose criminal government is taking away civil rights implementing posting limits is a bad form. It seemed to kowtow to some folks who just lurked but believe that TM related groups should be polite tea parties serving watercress sandwiches. How quaint. Maybe in some future lifetime such people will actually experience transcendence. As far as I'm concerned they are about as enlightened as a log.
