5 Posts per day limit

[kkersey_austin]

I think the posting limits are in balance a good thing. They may not
be perfect, but they are practical and they are fair. 

Here's an idea for consideration:

On those (presumeably rare) occasions when someone feels a great need
to go over the posting limit - say, they are about to leave on
vacation and can't spread over a couple of days all the brilliant
insights that had come to them in a dream the night before, or, a
particular discussion is going so spectactularly well that putting the
brakes on it would be a shameful disservice to HP scholarship and
fandom - how about this: the poster in question simply *asks* the
elves for permission to go over the limit in that particular instance,
and includes a short note indicating that such permission was given
when making the "overage" posts. 

A little flexibility, but still respectful of the spirit of the rule. 


Elisabet, who as the parent of a seven year old, knows the value of
the "ask permission first" meta-rule.
