Bob, I have a question about the Terms of Use, which I hope you can answer.

I just discovered the little clause about no more than 20 posts in six hours.

Well, there are a couple of posters who drive me batty by posting much more frequently than that. (I note that one of them, for example, has already posted 53 message in 8 hours today, and he's still going strong. Par for the course.)

Now these folks are not abusive, at least not usually; they post on topic; they even have something positive to contribute -- sometimes. The problem seems to be that they simply have too much time on their hands. And what irritates me is when they get going (they usually post to opinion threads), they flood the thread they are posting to, and their concerns drown out everyone else's. One even gets the sense that they are consciously trying to engineer a "takeover" of the thread.

Is there some nice way to get these folks to stop blabbing all the time? <g>
