it might lead to longer posts in general. There are currently big differences 
in the structure of emails according to the author, some people commenting on a 
short quoted paragraph with a single sentence, while others posting long essays 
in reply to full quotation of preceding long essays.

I’m against limiting the amount with hard numbers. These will always be 
arbitrary, and proposals are often covering very “specialist” topic in great 
detail. You do not have to follow everything, just follow those topics where 
you feel you have something to contribute. With just 4 proposals a month we 
would commonly run into situations where we limit contributions of new tagging 
proposals just because there are already proposals of underground waterways in 
pipes, utility poles, train safety systems and hydrant specifics proposed in 
the same month.

Cheers, Martin
