Do you have a link to a posting and how it looks? It would be interested to see how quoality posting is measured. Qantity posting is something I am very much against. Especially because people might start posting just to be in the top 100. That would be posting for the wrong reason. Also I am sure you are aware that quantity is absolutely no measure of how valuable postings are. houghi -- If God had not given us sticky tape, it would have been necessary to invent it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
