I don't think anything should ever be considered a "totally closed
issue" - that's what -Feedback is here for, isn't it?

Then make it 5 - I only said 3 because I was going with the idea of
moving from 3 to 5 being the "wrong" solution to the problems that
existed with 3 total, and replacing it with a different solution
instead of adding one, but I don't really care that much - it's just a
number. (personally, I don't see the need for the limit at all in
"peacetime" - i.e. when we're not in a really hectic time period like
around the release of a book - I think you said earlier that this all
started around the OOTP release?)

And "if that's the only topic I happen to care about at the moment" is
the kind of thinking that IMO needs to _stop_ - Whatever the limit
ends up being, it should be per-topic. No-one should "get to" post
more because they're only posting about one thing, or have to post
less because they have opinions on several different issues.

I do think that the rule should change, and whatever rule it changes
to should not in effect penalize someone for having opinions on more
than one issue (i.e. participating in many different threads at once)
- i.e. if i post in one thread it should not have any chance of
causing me not to be able to post in another.
