I've read all the posts, lost my train of thought a few times, and 
decided to take on one topic at a time.

Clearly, I'm in the minority here, but I don't like the idea of 
posting limits. (But, if it's going to happen, I do like the idea of 
a trial period.)

Can someone tell this bear of little brain how it will improve 
quality?  It will afterall, limit the good posters as well as the 
poor posters.  And while there are several posters I would love to 
see limited, there are others I'd love see post more often. I agree 
with Pippin, how will the success be measured? Yes, it will decrease 
the volume. But is that, by itself, success?

On the other hand, just getting through these posts to get to my 
turn was frustrating, and I think I began to get a sort of feeling 
of what the issue is. Would a time limit work as well?  Not to post 
on the same thread again until a certain amount of time had passed? 
That would allow others a chance to get in, but would permit those 
who are interested to keep the discussion going. It would also allow 
a poster to be involved in several threads.
