Fools Rush In...

[Ebony AKA AngieJ]

John's posts here made me think yet again about this issue.

Is there any aspect of the four books of canon that we haven't 
touched upon already at the main list?  (I am not talking about the 
number of times the letter "a" appears in the book, or other such 
trifles.)  In other words, is there really any safe ground anymore?

What I don't understand (and what no one seems to be answering) is 
why we are getting annoyed with newbies who rehash when even the so-
called veterans are now doing so.

Also, John, the one-post-a-day restriction isn't prohibitive at 
all... if you want to answer multiple threads, you answer them all in 
one post OR you respond to the thread that you can contribute the 
most to.  And there's not this idea on that particular list on heavy 
Mod enforcement, so it's not like they monitored member posts.  It's 
in the club FAQs so new members know.

I have broken the one-post-a-day rule on KS at least a half dozen 
times... BUT because such a rule existed, I was mindful every time I 
broke it and tried to make sure my postings were relevant.  The 
unspoken Netiquette is "one post a day, two if it's an emergency" and 
it does help keep volume way, way down and discussion at a higher 
level IMO.

I think such a posting cap ought to have been instituted a while 
back.  As it stands, I really think it's too late to do anything 
about it now anyway.  Just trying not to complain without bringing up 
viable solutions.
