Sorry, brain fart on my part, I was not responding to the correct issue
here.

I have followed the guideline of no more than one show every two weeks for
a few years now, and I think it is a good idea. And since the main issue is
that there are not enough shows coming in, it is hard for me to see it as a
binding constraint. If someone has a spurt of creativity and records three
shows in an afternoon, why is it bad to tell them to post one every two
weeks? I generally record a dozen or more shows over a few days, then
upload them in a mass uploading session. Of course, I am retired so this is
a hobby for me, but I kind of like the two week rule. As it is, I kind of
worry that one day I will see messages on the mailing list saying "When
will that guy shut up?" But thankfully that hasn't happened yet.

Regards,
