Yep, Steve, Shorty Elf is a "she" -- she's me. :)

SSSusan:
Erm... not quite sure what you mean by "no way of enforcing it."  
Could I refer you to my post, upthread, where I explain that we *do* 
monitor & enforce it?

Or perhaps you mean something else that I'm not getting?

Thanks for recognizing it! :)

SSSusan:
I would say that it would depend upon how often this happened, 
Steve.  Once in awhile?  Sure, as you noted earlier, it's a 5-post-
per-day *guideline.*  Elves are not sitting around with ruler in 
hand, waiting for someone to hit 6 so they can say, "Aha!!!  This 
fellow needs a good rap on the knuckles!"  

Should said fellow establish a pattern of posting 6 every day... or 
8 or 9 in one day... then maybe one of those friendly (we hope!) 
Elfy Reminders will appear in your Inbox.
