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, -- Kevin B.
