Vexxy:
D.  Yes and we does count.  *looking smug until losing one paperclip

Ceridwen:
I agree with everyone who has answered so far.  New or occasional 
posters might get shy if a few people dominated the list.  Posting 
limits also encourage some martialling of thought and private 
exploration of a theory before posting, while unlimited posting means 
a person can go through the stages of refining a theory on the board, 
taking up a lot of time for people who don't always have a lot of 
time but who are still interested in that particular subject.

I also agree that we might have a discussion about this issue to see 
what everybody thinks.  We have had some slow days recently so maybe 
a lot of people are thinking about this.
